Crazy Ray also had a special friendship with rival Zema Williams (i.e. *Chief Zee), the Washington Redskins' unofficial mascot. In some photographed pictures, Crazy Ray and Chief Zee were seen pretending to fight with each other during games. Ray died on March 17, 2007 from heart disease and diabetes, aged 76, in Dallas. He missed only three games in 46 seasons.
