T. Stein : When I was a little kid of 8 or 9 (I am now 35), I saw Ray at the Dallas Boat Show. I was in the fishing area, having no luck. Ray caught a fish, and while it was still on his line brought it to me to reel it in.
Best of luck Ray. (10/19)

R. Ingersoll : I first saw Ray at Texas Stadium in 1976. I worked (and still do) as a fund raiser for DeMolay, the parking lot at Texas Stadium. In those days, we also sold souveniers in the stands.
As an adult, I have had the pleasure of entertaining with Ray while I was "Chuckles the Klown" along with "Bebo" at Criswell Kids parties. (10/25)

B. Nickerson : Well, My favorite was when I recieved my first Dallas Cowboy T-shirt from Crazy Ray... Only because I lived on the same street from him in the Buckner Terrace area. I use to pass by his green house and see him in the yard. He would look out for me as I played in the street. And over 20 years later, just a few weeks ago I see him and Mrs. Mattie in an Oak Cliff off Lancaster Rd. I still felt like he knew exactly who I was... and he still laughed and joked with me.

N. Holmes : I got to go to one of the first games at Texas Staduim was when I first saw Ray. The thing we loved the most that we went to all parts of the Staduim and was there for all the fans. I got his autograph at a Ranger game too when I was older. Beautiful man, always had time for the kids! This big kid wants him where he belongs! (10/25)
|
D. Jones : Back in 1975, my future husband and I had just started dating and he took me to a Rangers game. I went to the snack bar and when I came back and was looking for my seat, Ray came up beside me, put his arm under mine, walked me up the aisle, whistling "Here Comes the Bride" the whole way!...I was SO embarrassed, but the crowd was HOWLING!!! So funny! Thanks for the memories, Ray!
Sincerely,
Donna Jones (10/25)

C. Byers : I have seen Crazy Ray SEVERAL times at the Wal-Mart. He was there in his wheelchair making balloon animals for kids. He is always smiling and a true asset to our community! We love you Crazy Ray. I wish I had the $$ to help out. (10/26)

S. DUNCAN : About 25 or 30 years ago. I made my yearly trip to Town East Mall in Mesquite. I was coming down the escalator and heard a crowd gathering. When i got to the bottom i asked someone what was going on. (I thought it was the President or the Pope or something the way the crowd was). The person told me it was Crazy Ray. I watched a few minutes and Ray was just as friendy and crazy as he is at the Cowboy games. Thanks Ray, the world needs more people like you.
We are having a Sportscard show in Greenville, Texas on November 25-27. We will have containers available for donations to this fund. Thanks for the memories.
Good luck and God bless.

H. Norvell : My brother lived behind Ray, and when my nephew was small (8 or 9),he would have little boys come visit him and we would walk around the block to see Crazy Ray, he would come out and his charming self make these little boys so happy. He would give them a 8x10 black &white picture of himself and he would sign it. These little boys thought they had been to Hollywood and met one of the big stars, he is our star in Dallas. I wish them the best , I know about age problem. God Bless you for being such Dallas Star. (10/30)

D. Bearden : I have been a Cowboy fan and a Crazy Ray fan since I was a little girl. However, my experience with Crazy Ray occurred not at a Cowboys game, but at the Farm Aid Concert in Texas Stadium many years ago. Crazy Ray constructed one of his famous balloon hats for my daughter, whom at that time was about 11 years old. I am very sorry to hear that Crazy Ray is experiencing poor health and financial problems. I intend to send a contribution when possible. (10/31)

j. frye : Crazy Ray has been an important figure of the Dallas Cowboys since I was a little boy. He has been as important to Cowboy fans as much as the blue star! I met hem a few years ago at a Cowboy home game against the Washington Redskins and he was more than willing to take up time with me and take some pictures. He is now in heaven were he can look down on his Cowboys in perfect health. See you again some day Crazy Ray. You will be missed until then. (3/17)
