"I Raised My Boy to be a Champion"
By Tom Prichard
Dory Funk Sr. was truly one of the best wrestlers I've seen in action. Dory Sr. was a perfect example of a dedicated father. He never played favorites. He was always equally dividing the work on his ranch between Dory Jr. and Terry. He was doing this to give them a good healthy life on a ranch, out of doors, instead of the smoggy city.
Both of Dory's sons are champion's in their own right. There was no man happier in the world on February 11, 1969 than Dory Funk Sr., when Dory Jr. won the world championship in Florida. Then, at that moment he know all his wrestling training, all his coaching had paid off. When Dory Jr. won the title, Dory told him that he would have to bring nothing but dignity to the belt, and honor his obligations. He taught Dory Jr. to defend the championship against all leading contenders. He warned him about holding the championship of the world would bring him many rewards, and it would-be rough at times, along with a lot of travel. He told him that he should put out his best whether wrestling in front of a crowd of 12,000 at a huge coliseum, or whether he was wrestling in front of a crowd of six or seven hundred at a high school gymnasium for the belt. Dory Funk Sr. raised two great sons, and had a right to be proud of them.
