I remember Mayor Koch standing on line in front of me at the viewing of the late assemblyman Anthony Genovese. When the ushers came to him and said your honor, we will take you to the front now, he responded "I will wait in line, I will not go in front of others standing here before me". He then turned and said to me, "how'd I do? I replied, "great". A class act for a world class New Yorker, R.I.P. Mayor Koch

Mr. Mayor, Although I didn't live in the city during your term, I loved your wit & straifgt-forward demeanor. Rest in Peace & may God bless you.
thank you Mr.Mayor for being such a good man and for showing us that we can all do good as people and not to waste one minute of life.
Worked on an interview tv show with Mayor Koch in my NYC studio 2 years ago. Tech delays caused my pre-interview to stretch to an hour. He was patient kind and supportive but memorably also remarkably perceptive, clear and engaging. He outlined five very good reasons he was not inclined at that time to support Obama's reelection. He praised Truman and JFK and pointed out with sadness that gentlemen of their views and his own are now absent from his party. In the end he did support Obama. He was a politician, after all. But it was fascinating to converse with a brilliant Senior man genuinely questioning his own deeply held beliefs. America sorely needs leaders with Ed Koch's personal integrity and introspection. He was unique and history will remember him with praise. RIP Mr. Mayor.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE,AMEN FR NIKKY.
REST IN PEACE MY GOD BLESS YOU. AND YOUR. FAMILY.
Ed was a great guy and friend. I met him back in 1989.He will be missed by all who knew him. RIP...
I met Mayor Koch years ago. Our group was meeting in New York. We were invited to a reception with the Mayor. Besides him being such a gracious host, Lionel Hampton attended the reception. What a wonderful time. May the Mayor rest in peace and may his family be blessed.
Ed koch will always be recalled as a friendly man to all.He has done so much for the people.
He will be missed by all
May you Rip. You were a he'll of a mayor
your smile lights the way GOD BLESS YOU MR Mayor.
We remember fondly the Mayor especially when he popped out of the 77th Street subway entrance announcing that he was running for congressman and when he popped out of a cake to surprise his audience. He was love for his unique character.
Rest in peace- you were truly a remarkable man
Mayor Koch , you were a big part of my life as a teenager who grew up in Queens. I will miss your wit, your honesty and your great sense of humor. Rest in Peace and watch over our city.
Thanks for the memories. Thanks for cleaning up the city so nice they named it twice.
Praise Eloim.
One in a million. Rest in Peace.
RIP Mayor Koch, you had a wonderful life, a good politician (and I hate politics) and a true New Yorker... and I loved your sense of humor....people will never forget you, you'll be remembered for years and years to come.
A candle for such a kind soul.
`a.c.
You're a great leader. I've followed and admired your bold leadership as NYC's Mayor. Your WABC talk radio presence and press articles were Terrific!
We never met him, but, sure would have liked to. He was one-in-a-million and when he was Mayor of New York - he made the city come alive and he certainly was a Mayor that will never be forgotten. He was great and may you rest in peace, Mayor Koch. We love you! We saw the bridge that was named after him, when visiting New York last year (2012).
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."-Psalm 116:15. I am going to miss this exceptional personality. God bless him.
may you rest peace thank you for all you have done for so mamy peole may you go to your mom and dad now being jewshis it means so very much god bless you Diane.
Mr. Koch definitely was a person who has lived his life to the fullest. Now his asleep hoping to hear the words Lazarus heard when Jesus resurrected him saying "Lazarus come out" meaning from the grave. So for now rest in peace.
He was and always will be New York City. Rest in peace, Mr. Major. You will be sorely missed.
Ed Koch was one of a kind. He had a full life and will be missed by many.
My sincere condolence for the loss of Ed your dear loved one. May your fond memories of him, and who he was, bring back to your minds good times and real comfort. Peace and love to your family and friends, and to the spirit that you show. bjluv333@comcast.net

Many Thanks, for your friendship and advice over the years. It was great to speak with you on WBBR 1130 and I am sure the staff of Bloomberg LLP will miss your presence. Every time I go over the 59th Street Bridge I will remind myself that it is now called the Mayor Edward I Koch Bridge.

Mr. Mayor,
I worked in NYC in summer of '83 and every so often, you'd give a speech on the steps of City Hall directly to the people eating their lunch. It was good to see a Mayor talking to the public directly. You came in at a hard time for NYC, but you made it survive and thrive and more friendly.
May you rest in peace, you deserve it.
BTW: "You are doing a great job"
The best out spoken Mayor Of the greatest city of New York. He truly cared for the people of New York state. God Bless you Mayor Koch. "Thanks for the Memories."
God Bless you and your Soul Mayor Koch New York New York.RIP

Mr Koch:you were truely their for the people,not just another politician.god bless.
I have always respected how you loved your city and made it a better place under your watch. You were the best selling tool that city will ever have.
Our son Matthew was chosen as a recipient of the 1986 Mayor's Volunteer Youth Awards Program, but was unable to attend the award ceremony because he was terminally ill. When informed that Matthew could not travel to City Hall, Mayor Koch visited him at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
The Mayor and Matthew had a very friendly, upbeat and humorous conversation. Before he left the Mayor asked Matthew if he liked cheese cake and promised to send him one made by his personal chef. It arrived in Matthew's hospital room the next day and was shared by the pediatric patients and staff.
We will always remember Mayor Edward Koch's kindness to Matthew and his service to New York City. We extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Sorry to hear of your loss...may you find comfort from our Heavenly Father, Jehovah. 1Cor. 1:3
Nice man, kind man-as mayor of New York during a dark time in its history, and a devoted public servant up until the time of his passing. He might be considered "the Fiorello" of this generation. Rest in Peace, Mr. Koch!
May God Bless him. My wife Mary Ann worked with him for many years and now they are both with the angels. He served the city well. It was a pleasure being in his company
MAY THE GOD OF COMFORT BE WITH THE FAMILY AT THIS TIME OF SORROW. ISA. 61:2.
RIP Mayor Kock, God Bless your soul. I had the HONOR to meet you 4 years ago, and will always remember your graciousness. You were my favorite NY Mayor by far. May your spirit soar.
"You done good."
Respectfully,
Dear Mr. Mayor,
Even as a Bostonian, I too mourn your passing. I wish we had more politicians like you, neverincing words. May your memory be a blessing. Thanks for your service in WW2 and as an elected official .
How sad! I first met Mayor Koch during a Pulaskii Day parade years ago. I was from Oakland, CA, which had a very serious, unapproachable mayor, I was taking pictures of the Mummers, when a very funny man danced in front of my camera--I thought
he was one of my husband's eccentric uncles from Ozone Park.
Then people in the crowd said that I'd just met the Mayor of
NYC. I've had a soft spot for him ever since.
As a fellow native New Yorker, you embodied the spirit of New Yorkers. You told it like it was, never tried to sugar coat it and were not afraid of taking a controversial stand knowing it was right. We loved your honesty, humor and passion. Our Lord is truly lucky to have one of the best looking down on us.
Mayor Ed Koch,Their will never be another like you. May you rest in peace.
Rest In Peace Mayor Koch! You were one of a kind! From a Native New Yorker
My deepest sympathy to the Koch family.
I met Mr. Koch in the World Trade Center Building on the 44fl.it was a pleasure to shake his hand.
Thank you for your service and inspiration to all. May you have eternal rest.
Connecticut
MOURNS the loss of Ed.
Thanks for your service during
World War II.
Mr. Mayor you were the best Mayor of New York City. May The Lord find a job for you up there.
Thanks for making NYC the greatest city in the world.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
Thank you Mayor Koch for leading the city through an incredibly difficult time period. You embodied the spirit of the city and its people, and no one ever doubted that you loved both. I volunteered in your 1982 Campaign for Governor, and I still think you would have made just as good a Governor as you were a Mayor. You were always a pleasure to meet. How did you do?-Very well.
Rest in Peace, Mayor Koch. There is only one City you could ever have been Mayor of and, thankfully, that is my City. You will always be remembered.
prayers go out to the Koch's family.
He was a true original. So sorry.
The loss of a loved one is a very sad and heavy load to bear. May you find comfort in the hope given at: (2 Cor. 1:3)
From all I have ever read or heard you were a great Mayor.... Rest in peace... From a former NY State resident....
A man for all seasons and greatness. Sympathy to his family and friends.

Mr. Koch: You weren't my mayor but I often wished you were. My sympathies to your family, friends and all of NYC.
Mayor Koch, a true icon. What a great example you were! Loved your quick wit. Rest in Peace. God Bless!
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
Future generations will listen to Simon & Garfunkel & wonder "who he?". We were a bit luckier to say the least. Sympathy & kindest regards to the Koch family & very many friends wherever they may be. God bless 1 & all. Take care.
You are one of my heroes! God Bless You,Sweet Soul.
Rest in peace Mayor Koch.
Mayor Koch was "the people's mayor". New York City was the heart of him. He honored my Grandmother in 1984 for teaching English as a second language when she retired at age 84. He was the type of Democrat we need more of in this day and age.

I read "The Mayors" obit and I was amazed at his great Character and now I so wish we had more Politicians like him, he had America and what should be "Right on!" He was as real as an American as you can get! He was our "John Wayne of Politicians!" Rest in Peace Dear Sir ? Why didn't you run for President....You would have made a great one....? ? ? ? ?
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. You will be missed greatly by this former New Yorker.
A true New Yorker. We love you and will miss you.
God takes those who he loves most. He has the best when he took you. Born in 1924, the same year as my Mom, I remember listening to you speak in Rockaway Beach in the 1970's. we will miss you. The Nussbaum family
I always had a lot of respect for this man. His smile would warm the heart. He would have made a great president!
Koch Family,
What an icon he was and will always be to me. He was my Mayor for the 20 years I resided in Brooklyn, New York. Mayor Koch dance to his on beat and was not afraid of a good fight. I will always remember his favorite saying, How am I doing? You did GREAT. Rest in peace Mayor Koch. Koch family, may each of you find strength and comfort in God's loving arm through your time of sorrow. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one.
Peace I leave unto each of you.
Ed Koch was one of the greatest American characters in our history. He defied pat descriptions and all his thoughts were derived from "sanity" and pragmatism. He was one of the most entertaining politicians of the 20th century, the TV news at 7 and 11 was never the same after he left office. Condolences to all of the bereaved.
I had the honor of working in Mr. Koch's 1970 Congressional campaign and all of his ensuing campaigns until he retired from electoral politics. He was the quintessential New Yorker and proud pride to his city, to his country, to his family and to his faith. He will be missed terribly by all who knew him.
My deepest sympathy is with his sister and all of his family.
God rest his soul.
Never met Mayor Koch, but always enjoyed reading and hearing his commentary.
What a wonderful and genuine American treasure! Unlike most national political figures, "Hizzonor" was always his own man!
I shall greatly miss Mayor Koch's sage wisdom and honest insight. He was a true patriot.
Rest in peace.....
RIP Thy good faithful servant for job well-done.
RIP Did love watching you on tv. Good guy,
What a loss this is for all. You were a wonderful Mayor and a great politician. There was never a time in watching you, whether in politics or in television, that I did not learn something of value. In reading your obituary, I again gained valuable knowledge. You were an amazing man in so many ways and your passing will leave a huge void. Enjoy your next chapter.
Mayor Koch... may you rest in peace...you were the best mayor NYC ever had.
God bless you Mayor, tell my dad I love him You were a treasure, an inspiration rest in peace
This is what every Democrat should be like today! This is one of the nicest obituaries I have ever read. God bless you Mr. Koch and may you rest now. You are and always will be a legacy to New York.
you told it like it was Mr. Mayor ! rest now sir you were wonderful.
Pest in Peace Ed, other than Fiorello LaGuardia, you were the best mayor NYC ever had. Want to know how you did? You did very well, I will miss you and your wonderful personality.
You will always live in our hearts and prayers.
Rest in peace Ed you were and still are one hell of a good guy!!!
God rest his soul, He was a great Mayor and I salute him for all his efforts to our City!!!!
RIP Your-Honor, The Big Apple will never forget you!
Mayor Koch was a cousin of mine.We received his weekly e-mails.A great loss to NYC and all of us.
It was a pleasure to have worked for you as a POLICE OFFICER serving NYC.You were always a breathe of fresh air.
May you rest in PEACE.
Hi "How am I doing? Ed. Rest in peace. You had a tough struggle, but you are at peace. God Bless.
What a delightful human being. I remember that we used to call him Mayor krouch with love. You will be sorely missed by many people. Rest in Peace Ed your job here is done. Now hope you can stand before God and say "How am I'm doing". Another American Treasure Gone.
He never forgot the people he was elected to serve, especially those folks from humble backgrounds. He was one of the last politicians we could respect and admire.
Ed Koch - a true classic in the annals of NYC!
We/ve never met Mr. Ed Koch, but followed him all of these years in the news. May GOD bless you Mr. Koch, your family, and many,many friends. Rest In Peace.
RIP Mr.Koch......Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family
BEING A NATIVE, BORN AND BREAD BRONX, NEW YORK, GIRL...I FONDLY REMEMBER MY FORMER MAYOR. GOD FOREVER KEEP YOU IN HIS PERFECT PEACE...REST NOW FROM YOUR DUTIES WELL DONE.
Always an impressive and interesting political character. RIP Ed ...
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Koch. He was a great man with a big heart. When 911 struck he did his all to put New York back together again. There will never be another mayor like him. We love you Ed and miss you. Rest in Peace. You are now one of the Lords angels.
What a great Mayor. He was full of personality and he got the job done. Rest in Peace.
I loved Ed Koch. My favorite moment was his response to the Secretary General of the UN, who was complaining that NYC didn't provide more police protection for a visit from Prince Charles (I think). The secretary said that if NY could afford more security for these occaisions the UN might consider moving out of NY. Koch responded with, "Hey, see ya!"
God bless you ~ Rest in peace.
Mayor Koch definitely used his life fighting for what he believed to be right. Let us continue to pray for the day when all things on earth will take place according to God's will.
Matthew 6:9,10
Truly a man for all seasons. He will be missed.
God speed Mr. Mayor. New York city is what it is today because of you. God bless you. May you rest in peace.

I've never lived in NY, didn't know Mr. Koch but admired his style, his sense of humor, his pride in his city and his determination to do what was good for the city, no matter what. RIP

You may agree or disagree with his politics; But unlike most politicians, he always told the truth. God bless Ed Koch.
A Great Man from the greatest city on earth with great memories for us all.

Ed, you were so famous in your political life for many years. Now your soul has been taken into God's Home for all eternity. Rest in Peace, Mr Koch, and Godspeed!
We loved you then and we love you now. You will always be remembered for being the most honest and outspoken governor of all time. You told it as it was.
May the good Lord bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
He was the best mayor NYC ever had. I wish he was mayor forever.
Bye Mr.Abe. Everyone loved you.
You were one of the great politicians.
And an even better friend to all of the people of this great nation of ours.
Dear Mayor Koch, You were the 1st mayor I ever voted for. You were truly a New Yorker. I've followed you all the time in the news and on tv. Last night when I heard that you were put into ICU I prayed that if you did not last, please make you go in peace. This New Yorker will miss you.You were the Best of the Best. Your are with your family now. Rest in Peace.
Mr mayor may you rest in peace.I remember you in office when I was a kid
ONE OF THE FEW GREAT MAYORS OF NEW YORK CITY. A GOOD MAN.
Rest in peace Ed . You were always a happy man and I'm sure this day you are even happier !!
I worked on Wall Street all of Mr Koch's time in office and was amazed by his daily NY swagger for getting things done.. Glad that my home town of Newark NJ had a small part of a great man
R.I.P : A GOOD MAN AND A GREAT MAYOR... NEW YORK WILL MISS YOU...

Ed Koch was the Mayor most of my childhood. Hey Ed how am I doing. RIP Maria B
With deepest sympathy to the Koch family during your time of grief...God is for you a refuge and strength, A help that is there to be found during difficult times...May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.
I'm deeply sadden to know that former Mayor Ed Koch has passed. He was the first political figure to help me realize I had an opinion and a right to voice that opinion. He attended a city council meeting at the City of Midwood High School back in 1984 and I asked him to voice his opinion and plan regarding the poor conditions of mass transportation at the time. I was 14 years old and it was the first time I'd ever spoken to or challenged a political figure publicly. His acknowledgement and response triggered a continued lifetime of voicing my opinion and being heard. I now have a 14 year old son and I encourage him to be vocal and have an opinion. Ed Koch changed the face of New York City and brought us out of a very dark time socially and economically. My thanks to him for all he did for our great city...Your Honor, you done well!
So sorry for the loss of this tried and trusted man. My prayers are with his family.Thank you for you years of dedicated service to NYC.
Extrodinary man! Rest in Peace Mr. Mayor! You've earned the rest. Happy home-going sir!
My condolences to the family of Ed Koch. I never met him and I'm not from N.Y. but I used to see him on the Tonight Show and other tv situations. Thought he was a great guy. He will be missed.
Mr. Koch will truly be miss in the political world he was one of America great Mayor. May You Find Comfort During This Time of Sorrow. Psalm 68:20
Lord Bless you Ed, you were one hellva good man, R.I.P.
RIP Mr.Koch......Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family
