When thousands gather for the BOLDERBoulder Memorial Day Tribute at Folsom Field on Monday, they may notice someone missing.
Stewart Boone passed away at his home in Kansas on May 10 at the age of 98. Many in Colorado knew him as the BOLDERBoulder bugler. Since 2010, he regularly played the national anthem on his trumpet during the post-race ceremony.“I’ve got many memories but one of my absolute favorites, he started and in 10 seconds, 40,000 people were singing along,” Bosley said.
Dr. Jeffrey Boone of Centennial described his father’s heroic actions during the famous Battle of the Bulge, which earned his father the bronze star. Decades later, as the country began to lose World War II veterans, Boone played taps at hundreds of military funerals. “He’ll be with us another year. Well, he’ll always be with us in spirit, but the recording is priceless,” Bosley said.
