The the Treadway Family:

Please accept my condolences on the death of Dr. James. He was my oldest son's (Frank - 36 years old now)) doctor and we so enjoyed going to his office for checkups, etc. Frank loved to fish also so as he got older he enjoyed Dr. James' fish stories!! He was a fine gentleman and he will be missed.

By the way, Dr. Kent was my younger son's (Adam - 28 years old) doctor. He is a fine gentleman and doctor also - a chip off the old block!

You are in my thoughts.

Dr. Treadway was my pediatrician throughout my childhood until I was about 15. Because he was so kind and gentle, I was never afraid to go see him. In fact, I was glad because I knew he would make me well. He was making house calls as late as 1961 or 1962 when I had an especially bad case of chicken pox. He came all the way out to Green Acres Road in Metaire when that area was still newly developed and there was as yet no I-10 to make the drive easier.

My deepest symphathies are extended to his family upon losing such a good man.

Sincerely,

Gayle Gulliver Buhler

Dr. Treadway took care of me, my siblings, my cousins, my children and my granddaughter (for awhile). He was a great doctor and as my mom would say "very easy on the eyes." I believe that us kids were brought to Dr. Treadway just so our moms could stare at him - he was so good looking - don't get me wrong, he was a great doctor - in addition to being a wonderful, caring doctor, he was also extremely good looking. He will be missed by all. We thank God that we had him to take care of us. He is now truly home.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of Dr. Treadway coming to the house to treat all of the various childhood illnesses we all endured. He would come in and immediately access the situation, give medicine or a shot and assure me and my parents that all would be okay. Although this was in the 1950's, I remember it as though it were yesterday. I think of Dr. Treadway often and will keep him in my prayers. He was a gentle man in every sense of the words. Condolences to his wife and family.
