Family, friends and horsemen were on hand for a winner’s circle memorial to Robert Bo Beauregard.

On hand was his wife Marybeth, and his sons John and Steven, and other family members.

Robert was remembered for his good nature and humor. For years he would dress up as Santa Claus for the annual Monticello Harness Horsemen’s Association Christmas party, always to the delight of the children.

Bo was a director for the Monticello Horsemen’s Association. He was remembered as being tough, yet fair.

The memorial was truly a fitting tribute that personified his body of work to the horsemen and the community.
