I am very sorry to announce the passing of Tony Treadwell this morning, his lungs finally gave out and he passed peacefully in the hospital with Marie holding his hand.

Marie said: "He was still oiling the Purdey stock just a couple of hours before he went into hospital, whilst holding his hands I could see the stain and smell the oil on his hands."

From me, Doug and Tony's wife Marie, we both know that he had many friends on this BBS and so many of you meant very much to him, thank you for your friendship and feelings towards him.

God Bless and receive Mr. Tony Treadwell and bless his family and friends always....April 7, 2012

Gone but never forgotten....
