Dear Helen & family,
I just heard of Doc's passing. I was out of town so I was not able to express my condolences in person. Doc will be missed by many!

I'm so sorry for the loss of Dr. Koch. He was our equine vet for many years, as well as for our small animals. My sister and I showed in 4-H and Lea Ann was in the club for a time before moving on to AQHA classes. "Doc" Koch kept my sister's horse at your barn while she was recovering from a broken leg. He was such a nice man and a no-nonsense vet. You have my sympathy.

Helen, I am so sorry for your loss. However although Howard was not working at the vet for a number of years, I had the opportunity to have him as my vet for almost 30yrs. He was a wonderful man and will be very much thought of and missed. My heart goes out to you for a loss of such a wonderful man. I knew him in Oswego all those years and have now located to Florida for retirement.

Dear Mrs. Koch, Lea Ann, and Brian,
I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Koch's passing. It hardly seems possible as he always seemed to have so much energy. I'll always remember my years at River Heights. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Helen, I was so sorry to read of Doc's passing. He will be missed by so many people. Although I have not known him very long (compared to his many long standing relationships), I will always remember how welcome he made me feel when I returned to Kendall County, and how he encouraged me to get involved with the history of our area. I was touched then, and still am. He leaves a great legacy of people and projects behind to remember him and to continue his works in many ways. Take care of...

My thoughts and prayers are with the Koch family. Dr Koch was a big part of my childhood. He was my horse's vet for many years, and I was one of the original members of K & K Raiders. I will always have good memories of those times.
