Read MoreRay put me on my first bull (CueBall) 35 years ago in 1982. The years I spent traveling to the Lazy C were some of the best of my life. Ray was awesome in so many ways. My wife Sue and I send our deepest condolences to Mary Lou and the entire Cox Family. Heaven just got one hell of a cowboy...I just hope they're ready! You will be missed.

Ray was a friend for over 40 years. He always wanted me to ride a bull, but I preferred watching others do it. My sympathy goes out to Mary Lou and to "Rodeo" Roger Cox.
