Good questions. Ron Fournier was saying that reps from the Avalanche were trying to make it to the funeral but were held back at the airport. It is what it is. Let's be grateful for everything that was done right on that day and there was plenty. A day none of us will ever forget.

There was an article in the Star (translated from La Presse) that might hint at why Henri wasn't there.

“We’re quietly losing players. Life changes. There are a few others with health problems, like Dollard St-Laurent or Henri Richard. Elmer Lach doesn’t talk much anymore, but he still has his memory,†said Goyette. “I’m losing all my buddies. There aren’t many left in Montreal.â€
