``My Way'' played as Montreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur's funeral ended.

Lafleur was remembered a father, a teammate and a person of exceptional generosity who inspired generations of Quebecers.

Martin Lafleur described his father as someone who always made time for his family and who wanted to take care of everyone, including people he didn't know.

Hockey hall of famers Yvon Cournoyer, Larry Robinson, Guy Carbonneau and Patrick Roy paid tribute to the Habs legend, who died last month at age 70 after battling lung cancer.

Carbonneau talked about showing up at his first training camp and pinching himself when he was put on a line with his childhood idol.
