The only survivor was Lee’s traveling partner, Louis Jones. The family was buried in Denton, Texas, where Ora Lee was born and they were living at the time. As a eulogy and tribute to one of the greatest calf ropers of the era, rodeo personality, Fox Hastings, led Robinson’s saddled horse in the grand entry at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo that year. Lee Robinson was inducted into the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1967 and the Lee Robinson Saddle, made by the N. Porter Saddle & Harness Company for many years is a highly sought-after cowboy collectible to this day. Lee Robinson Signature Saddle and Bulldogging (right)
