RIP, on the whole, not a bad guy. Did a tough job and did it as a realist. A mensch.

The guy made sense most of the time, for a lib.
He certainly was a character.

A real New York character! I just heard he's being buried at Trinity Church, lol! According to the news, he felt there wasn't enough through traffic at the city's Jewish cemeteries.

During the Koch years I lived in SW Connecticut and business took me into NYC frequently. Koch, who served 12 years, reflected the spirit of NYC as did Giuliani who came later. Unfortunately Dinkins came in between them as Mayor and was a disaster ... no parallels between Dinkins and our current occupant of the WH of course. In any case Koch and Giuliani were excellent NYC Mayors who were positive influences on their city. Bloomberg I'm not so sure about ...

I know he was a Lib but he seemed to be leaning more to the right as he aged. RIP.

A real shame. Koch was a lib, but had common sense. Rest in peace.

My condolensces to the Koch family.
‘Hizzoner’ shall always be remembered, as a Great American, and a great Mayor of NYC that had a ‘can-do’ attitude.
To: Zakeet
I thought he was honest and decent, for a lib.
Anyone remember his stint on the People’s Court?
RIP, Mr. Mayor.

He maintained an office in my building. I saw him walking out with a bit more of an escort just a couple weeks ago. Lots of people, myself included, would say “Hello Mayor” as he walked by. He smiled and nodded.
A Democrat and a Liberal, he was the type of thinking Liberal I like to match wits with; both learning something new in the exchange.
While he had an ego, he never disgraced himself with tawdry nonsense. He had the welfare of the people front and center.
His friendship with Cardinal O’Conner was an example of how he could see past Liberal pettiness and work for the things all could agree on.

All around he was pretty much a good guy. Outspoken and independent in some of his thinking. Sure, he was a democrat, but he had some feistiness in him that set him apart from his vile party.
May God rest his soul.
