Aww. I hadn't even heard of him but I just read the posted story and I'm *sniffles*.

Rest in Peace Mr. Crazy Ray Jones. God bless his family, friends and fans.

"When I first got here, I was riding a city bus and talking to a lady," Mr. Jones said in 1974. "I had a paper bag and made some sounds. She said, ‘Do you have a dog in there?' I said yes.

"So the driver said, ‘You can't have a dog on the bus.' So I threw the bag out the window.

"They all looked for the dog."

LOL. Now that is funny.

"Crazy Ray" was just terrific. He had a twinkle in his eyes and a big, infectious grin. No matter what he did, it was always clear that his mission was good-natured and designed to make people smile. Even little children knew that. There was nothing scary about "Crazy Ray."

He'll be deeply missed. No question about it.

I read this with a heavy heart. Ray became a close friend over the past couple of years. He used to hang out at a Wal-Mart in Dallas passing out balloon animals where I worked as a loss Prevention associate.

He never really got the respect he deserved from Jones and I think most Cowboy fans would have been really upset had they known how he lived the final years of his life.

Rest in peace Ray, you be able to sit next to God and Landry and watch the Cowboys play now in what is most definitely the best seats in the house.

Thanks for posting that. Here's Mick Spagnola's tribute on DallasCowboys.com. Ray's in the pro football hall of fame, btw, in the fan's wing. God bless Crazy Ray.
