Tony Funches epitomized soul. He loved music and worked with some heavyweights (Stones, Doors, etc.) He had the not-easy task of trying to keep Jim (Morrison) out of trouble. I was extremely fortunate to connect with Tony a few years ago, after a long absence. It was a blessing. He was articulate, progressive, and funny! RIP, JD
Tony was my favorite of Jim’s bodyguard/ babysitters. Unlike most of the others, he tried to keep Jim from drinking too much. – Robby Krieger
He was a very sweet man. – Lynn Krieger
