The photos on the iPad will consist of two sections, the camera roll and photos synced from his PC.
First thing is to plug into iTunes and do a full backup (not a sync). Just stop the initial sync, right click the iPad and select Back Up. This will give you something to restore the iPad from if you find your photos have all gone. The camera roll can be imported but the synced photos might be more troublesome. Apple would usually assume that you have copies of those photos on your PC because that's where they came from, does he still have his PC hard drive? It might be easier to explore data recovery on that.
