DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex has lost a voice like no other.
Roger Emrich, longtime radio broadcaster for 1080 KRLD and 105.3 The Fan and the voice of the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, has died at the age of 62, his son confirmed.
"The man with the voice of God is now in heaven. Your relentless spirit, positive attitude and legacy will live forever. Love you always, Dad," Ted Emrich tweeted.
Roger Emrich was known as "Raj Mahal" as listeners knew his voice from radio and then as the announcer at AT&T Stadium. He previously told CBS 11: "PA was always the thing I did first, and it was always my first love."
