    If you have ever been to the Redwood Run you know Ron Webb as the Bead Man.  Ron could normally be found riding his bike around the run or sitting on the side of the road at the run passing out beads to all the ladies - Ron Loved Boobies

    I just heard that Ron was killed on Saturday in an accident while driving his semi.  His wife was with him asleep in the sleeper cab and she is in critical condition.

    Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ron, his wife, and all of their family and friends. 

    We will miss you Ron!

    The Redwood Run will always be a little different without you there.

    Sad thing. I'm always lost for words when this happens. Speedy recovery for his wife and may the loving memories over-shadow the grief.

    Peace
