I remember Bobby from the early 50's when he was in the music business. He made probably the purest Rock n Roll recording's of the 50's with Shirley Lee on ABC-Paramount. I'm very glad Bobby went on to a fine career in with the state of Arkansas when he left the music industry. Bobby Lee Trammell will never be forgotten. Widmarc Clark

I am proud to say that Bobby Lee was a friend of mine. I first met him through his work in the legislature, but first heard of him when I was a young girl and heard the "Arkansas Twist". Besides both being named Bobby (Bobbie) Lee, we had music in common. He was always so encouraging to me to never stop singing. I knew him as a very kind man who really cared about people, especially the people in his district. I will miss his friendship very much. Bobbie Head

I had the honor of serving in the House of Representatives with Bobby Lee. I was much younger than him and he was always friendly and encouraging. Bobby Lee was one of the most energetic people I have known...Always smiling and always on the go. He loved public service.

I knew Bobby Lee from being a waitress many years ago at Pete's restaurant and through the many times he sang in various places. I was so proud to see him win election in the House. He was a wonderful man and loved by so many. He will be missed.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Lee but I always felt I knew him through his music. The first time I heard Bobby Lee was in the late sixties in my native The Netherlands when a friend returned from The States with Bobby's "Arkansas Twist" LP. That record was followed by many more over the years. His music touched many people and he will live on through the music he left us. My sincere condolences to his family.

Bobby Lee was a very dedicated person to our community and his passion for helping Craighead County be a better place to live will be missed. It seemed as though he never met a stranger and was always willing to offer a warm greeting everytime you came in contact with him. Our prayers and thoughts will be with all family members during this time of loss and may God give us the strength to continue serving Craighead County and the Lord as Bobby Lee would want and so unselfishly did.
