doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Sorry to Announce the Passing of Tony Treadwell...

This is so sad. I don't know what to do except give the man the last two stars under my forum name. Tony deserves them more than me.

An inspiration to us all. We will all have our turn in due course.
He has set the bar very high... Well done Tony.

We were the better for knowing Tony and are the worse for his loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family and to all who knew him and will miss him. He added more to this board than I can say. He was a breath of fresh air and a fountain of knowledge and inspiration.

It has been a long month for me as it has for many others. His is the fourth death of a close friend or family member. I lost my brother Friday and feel like I lost another member of my family today. Sad day but I have to say that they will not be soon forgotten.

KY Jon, I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. My condolences to you too.

Gosh, wonderful words you all have found.

I don't have much more to say but have to chime in to show my respect and admiration for Tony; what a loss but what a gift.

Like every one of you good people, I'm thinking of his family. Down the road I hope we can find a way to make a real difference for them.

A life well lived.

Tony was doing aseries of interviews with the BBC radio station Five

He told me by text on April 4th:

I�ve agreed for them to make the pieces available here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live/bestbits/

So, you can hear Tony talking about his illness with courage and dignity, as always, if you use the link.

I'm very saddened to wake to this news. What a loss to all that knew him in person and virtually... Tony and his beautiful family will be in my prayers today.

Thank you for the BBC link, Diggory. I can now put a voice with the face. Tony was quite a trooper. My mother lost her battle with a form of sarcoma, also. She was not as young as Tony, but, like Tony, was certainly taken from us well before her time. My sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the Treadwell family.

Small Bore, is there a video part to that BBC discussion? Of course I know it was for a radio program, but wasn't sure if there was a video I wasn't getting.
