(Ht: Ol' Broad) Wilford "Crazy Ray" Jones, the "unofficial" but nationally recognized Dallas Cowboys mascot, died Saturday at an Irving hospice.
"Crazy Ray" entertained decades of Cowboys fans and became a Dallas institution in chaps and white boots.
"This whole thing has turned out so much bigger than I ever expected," he told The Dallas Morning News in 1981. "I never want to do anything else."
Neighbors said that although Mr. Jones' recent bad health kept him away from Cowboys games, he remained an avid fan. He'll be buried in one of his costumes.
