The passing of Joe Pandin (pandin)

Dad was in a motorcycle accident on friday 6-29-2012. I know he posted alot on here. He was on his way home from the garage when the accident happened. So me and my brother (TORN) put his car back together today for him. We just wanted to let everyone know what happened to him. I know alot of great tuning knowledge he gained off the forums was passed down to us kids. he was loved and will be greatly missed.

Re: The passing of Joe Pandin (pandin)

Hojo helped me a lot- even called me up a few times and went over tuning issues with me. He seemed to be a really nice guy and knew his stuff. He also told me he learned to tune his Vette and sons IROC from info he learned on this site and liked help others in the same way the site helped him. He told me his brother had pasted last year.
Very sad to hear this news, sorry for your families loss.

Sorry for your loss, I also ride and would not give up all the joy it brings. I'm sure your dad would feel the same. Stay strong

Re: The passing of Joe Pandin (pandin)

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I know its not going to be the same without him and think of him daily. I know he would have been proud of us kids and how we pulled together to handle his loss.

RIP Dad I love you.
