So sad. It is unbelievable how some people can be so heartless and evil by taking some one's life like it's worth nothing. What a tragedy. RIP Joe Gosinski.

Damn RIP....very sad to hear this [Frown] Do they know what happened?

I painted some interior parts for Joe and his fellow technician Renee 9 years ago. The guy installed the Saleen front sway bar and solid aluminum bushings on my car. He did this and even aligned my steering wheel at no charge. It might be a small thing, but it meant a lot to me.

I'm in disbelief.

My condolence to the Golinski family.

Terrible story.
There look to be a lot of leads based on what I have been reading on other web-sites. Hopefully it's solved quickly and the perpetrators are brought to justice.

I spoke with Joe quite a few times over the phone and bought alot of parts from him. He would always say "No worries". very mellow down to earth guy.

RIP Joe.

I'm still in disbelief...

Joe was a great friend to me and helped me whenever I needed anything.

Joe was one of the last few true tuners out there. He wouldn't let anything leave his shop unless it was perfect. Hell, you could eat food off his shop floor...

Condolences to his family and loved ones.
