The Cauliflower Alley Club, it's executives, members and, indeed, the entire professional wrestling world are very saddened to learn of the passing of the legendary Terry Funk at the age of 79.   To many, Terry and the Funk family were synonymous with excellence in professional wrestling.


We  extend our sincerest condolences to the Funk family, their many, many friends and fans during this most difficult time.  May you rest in peace Terry and thank you for all you have done for the world of professional wrestling and those in it.
