I lived at Lake Tanglewood, outside of Amarillo, TX at the same time Terry did prior to his wife’s death. When the wildfires of 2011 came, the entire residency of that community had to evacuate. That’s when I met Funk, at a small church that was our check-in location after evacuation. He was so nice. Walking around the place, checking on everyone. Even strangers, like me.

I had the chance to get to know him a little. Really solid human being.

Loved Crusher growing up. Thanks for highlighting this great piece of wrestling history.

Unfortunately, because AWA isn't easily available for people to watch, he's been kind of lost to history. He's incredibly underrated at this point.

I saw him in the last season of Wrestling at the Chase & then the very early days of WWF when VKM bought out the STL territory. I could never believe that such a big man could move around like that.
