Lafleur was eulogized by Molson, Yvan Cournoyer, Larry Robinson, Guy Carbonneau, Patrick Roy, his son Martin, and his sister-in-law, Francine Barré. In turn, they each spoke of the hockey star's ability to perfectly straddle the line between fame and reverence, on the one hand, and being a loving father and family man, and caring teammate, on the other.
Molson highlighted the limitless time Lafleur devoted to the Canadiens organization as an ambassador, helping support charitable projects and community initiatives, and always making time for his fans.
"When Guy Lafleur walked into a room, jaws dropped, cameras came out for selfies, and people immediately started searching for sharpies and a piece of paper for his autograph," described Molson. "And there was never a time when anyone in that room didn't get that selfie or that signature. Everyone would leave with expectations met."
