Re: Cowboys super fan "Crazy Ray" dies at 76 I met him... he is a pretty cool guy, but it was his time. He would do a lot of magic tricks, sometimes too many, haha. A guy from the church that I used to go to was helping him out for the past... I dunno, 6 months or so? When I was in Dallas this past weekend I didn't see the guy from church because he basically knew Crazy Ray was going to die.
Re: Cowboys super fan "Crazy Ray" dies at 76 Wow, never heard of the guy...But he is a cowboys fan, so I gotta give him some love. It seems like he died happy, so....
