Passing: Floyd Curry: Solid Part of Canadiens '50's Cup Dynasty
Put this one in the category of overlooked.
An important cog in the Montreal Canadiens 1950's dynasty, Floyd Curry, died Saturday in Montreal at the age of 81. A defensive forward he was a reliable force, especially in the corners. He was also a loyal Canadien, having worked for the club in various capacities for some 4 decades.
Granted he was not a Richard, Beliveau or Plante but hardly a word is to be found about his passing. One important exception is Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette. Get a look at his beautiful eulogy for Busher Curry in the Montreal Gazette. Especially touching was Fisher relating a visit he and Curry made to Toe Blake at a nursing home when Blake, the great Canadien playrer and coach, was sffering from Alzehiemer's in 1991.
Both Cuury and Fisher deserve our recognition and admiration.
