Oops; I replaced the original source with the CBC one; the original is:
[3]. Note that they got the day he died wrong in the photo caption, and other sources repeat that it was at home in Beloeil. Of course, I've seen it variously reported that he was 67, 77, or 78 years old, which is a much easier fact to establish than place of death. So much for quality journalism, eh?

It's the weekend, the Habs were in Toronto, and news rooms on radio and tv are only prepared for Castro watches, now that former US prez Gerry Ford died.....Of course, they might be more in Montreal tonight, as Prime Minister hopeful Ken Dryden, one of the younger players who pushed Gump to the sidelines, is being honoured--perhaps a moment of silence?
With regard to the above comment, a bit of history: the "younger players" who pushed Gump to the sidelines included
Rogatien Vachon. Mr. Dryden appeared long after Gump had already left.

Gump Worsley played his last games in Monteal in 1969. Dryden didn't start with the Nova Scotia Voyageurs until 1970–71 (and he only played that one year before joining the Montréal Canadiens at the end of that season). Worsley and Dryden were never members of the Canadiens' organization at the same time. Dryden bumped Rogatien Vachon out of Montreal's lead goaltending job.
