Dallas Cowboys super fan Crazy Ray dies
God bless Crazy Ray, a Cowboys icon for four decades, who died Saturday. He was 75. CBS11 says "Hearth problems also plagued Jones in his later years." I think they mean "health" problems, although he had several bypass surgeries and suffered a heart attack a few weeks ago. His finals years were rough, emotionally and financially, as detailed by savecrazyray.com, a site that was dedicated to raise money for Jones and his wife, Mattie.

I will never forget seeing you at the Cotton Bowl for the first time - you had a hat with a spigot - then I remember your 'stick pony'and chaps back at Texas Stadium...
You should be on the 'wall of honor' with the other Cowboy greats of the classy days before Jones.
