Dave "Coach" Koch

I often think of my brother Jay, alongside thoughts of David. Both born in 1948 a few months apart. Both wonderful human beings I shall not forget. May David´s family rejoice in his well lived life.

my health club friend the most positive person i've ever met rip my friend

Dave was one in a million, his compassion and sincere caring was like no others. Condolences to his wonderful family .

My heart-felt condolences to Coach's family! The words shared in the obituary captured the man who made such a positive impact on our world and made those of us who met him better. Channeling Coach :). Therefore, I am smiling and thinking of sunshine and ocean lapping on the shoreline.....peaceful. I met him through ACS Cancer Action Network - a gift to me!

Val and family, Lois and I send our deepest condolences. Sad to hear about Dave´s passing. May he rest in peace. I worked with Dave in the post office

Valerie and family, My sister, brothers, and cousins all grew up with David on Dixwell Ave. in the 1950s. Fortune allowed me to reconnect with David at a family reunion. What a warm, positive, courageous and inspirational man David became! He will live on in the hearts of all he so gently touched.

It was a blessing to have met Dave through Tai Chi training. I was impressed by his always kind, calm, and positive spirit. My deepest sympathies to his family on his passing. I bow in respect, honor, and gratitude. May he rest in Eternal Peace in the unveiled presence and Glory of our Almighty God!

I met Dave at the Post Office, in New Haven many years ago. We were both Mail Handlers. Although we worked on different shifts. Everything everyone is saying about Dave, is definitely true. One day about three months ago, Dave and I were talking. He asked if we can get together, just to hang out in his yard. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to take him up on that. I spent three or four hours with Dave and his family on a Saturday morning. It was very pleasant and sad at the same...

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Dave for many years. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.
