Former Mayor Koch has left us at 88 and he served the great city of New York well.
In fact I think the people of New York are much better off because of Mayor Koch who was around when the city most needed him. Here was a man who was honest, worked hard for the people of New York City and always spoke his mind.
After leaving office he was outspoken about the state, the country and the world. It is rare for a politician to speak the truth but Ed Koch did.
I had met the mayor when he was first running for mayor and found him to be a person we could trust to do the right thing.
I think when Koch gets to heaven he might say to God,“How am I doing?” I think the answer would be,“You’ve done well.”
