The Kozak brothers were one of those tag teams from the territory era that often gets overlooked. They were two damn good workers imo.

Jerry Kozak dies at 79
You can't tell the story of Jerry Kozak, who died last week, without telling the story of his brother. And you can't tell the story of Amarillo, Texas, without talking about Jerry Kozak.
The tale begins a long way from Texas, though, in Vancouver, BC.
The Kozak family has its basis in the Ukraine, where their father came from, and Edmonton, where he met their mother. He was a big strong man, working in the logging camps, until getting hurt. There were four Kozak children: Nick was the oldest, born November 3, 1932; Jerry followed on September 4, 1934; their sister Anna was a year younger than Jerry; Dolores came around nearly a decade later.
Jerry survived his own cancer scare a few years back, bladder cancer, but never got to perfect health again. He primarily kept in touch with the wrestling business and his old friends through his brother, Nick, who was always more outgoing and gregarious. They each had a trailer on a single property in Houston.
His passing on March 5, was announced by Nick on the weekend, calling in to the annual wrestlers-only Gulf Coast Reunion in Mobile, Alabama, a favourite trip for Nick every year.
He is survived by his brother, Nick and sister-in-law Judy, sisters Anna and Dolores, brother-in-law Brian and many nieces and nephews.
