WOW!!!! very sad news to hear riski pass away!!!! my respect to his family and peace for him. I dont really know riski really good but he has given some really good advice with his knowledge with humor. Mad respect for riski on jaguarforums!!

 

Just got the news, really a strange feeling so sorry to the family. I have only been on this forum for a few months and Riski reponded to my threads with great value and information. Never met him or directly talked with him but I feel empty that the loss of someone from a forum that we all share stories and experiences with is gone.
R.I.P Riski, you will be missed.

It's so sad, We all wanted to meet up for a local Chicago meet last summer. This guy was a legend in the S-Type R / JaguarForums world.

He will be missed.

I need to get his family contact info.

 

Try contacting someone at: http://www.thechicagogarage.com/forum/

He was well known & liked there as well.

 

I have merged both threads here, where it should be, as requested.

 

I wanted to bring part of budsang1's original post over here, as not to lose it.

 

The outpour of support has been great, I was lucky enough to meet Joe a few times, always looking to squeeze more power out of our cars, trying to find a place to tune them. He was a great guy. Here are a couple other threads from the chicago garage, it gives you a better look into the person we lost

I was away from home and wasn't able to really post my thoughts til now. I've only been here a few months but Riski was very helpful to me ordering parts and providing feedback.

I can't say anything else that hasn't been more eloquently articulated by other members, but his presence will be greatly missed here. I am so sorry for his friends and family, and I hope that his family knows how much he was appreciated and respected here. His "nicey nice" comments always made me laugh.

RIP Joe.

 

How tragic and very sad...he seemed like a great guy and always willing to help out other members...we exchanged PM's when I was adding my custom exhaust, he was very helpful...

Godspeed and RIP...

 

downloaded the song in this video to my ipod and will play it in honor to riski everytime i take the jag out for a spin...RIP JOE

 

Wow, just read this... sorry to hear of his passing. He was a customer here, and a great contributor on the forums. He'll be missed.

 

OMG... Why this had to happen? What a sad very sad news, he was by far one of the most willing to help member in this forum, and always so enthusiastic to do so! He will be missed and a prayer on his name tonight is a must for me.

 

Wow! I was reading his posts last night about LSD rear diffs and I saw that he lived just up the road from me in Aurora. I was sure that I'd meet him soon...

 

I too was reading this not too long ago, and its a shame cause im right down the road in naperville. I even slightly remember hearing about this on the news. I feel bad cause it seems he was a good guy through his posts, and ill never have the oppertunity to know him.

 

my heart goes to all the friends and family that miss RISKI , new to this forum but reading all the replies about him , makes me sad , can never meet him now , maybe in jag heaven some day ,
REST in PEACE
and my prayers to all who have lost someone dear close to them

 

I hope it won't be considered inappropriate to ask but was there ever a final determination of exactly what happened?

There was mention of a mystery car and driver, and lots of speculation, but I never saw anything conclusive.

Sad story.
