Dear Mrs. Koger and family,

Mr. Koger was a great friend of the Arts. He was especially generous to us here at Telfair Museum of Art. I remember so well when we had part of his porcelain collection on view and he let us keep it for an extended period of time so that many, many people could share in the beauty of it. A friend of mine who is Chinese brought her mother and father down from New York especially to see it. They were overwhelmed with the beauty of it all. Mr. and Mrs....

Dear Mrs. Koger,

I know that Mr. Koger was a wonderful man and after being together for so long hiss loss will leave a great void in your life. Know that my prayers are with you.

God bless,

Ira Koger was a powerful force in Jacksonville, who did much to enhance it's image as a wonderful place to live.
He was a friend of mine, he embraced my husband and me when we came to this fair city, and I will miss him as I still miss Celeste.
Love and prayers to Nancy, Pam and their entire family.

God Bless Mr. Koger. What wonderful and beautiful asset to our community!

Ira was the most generous person I've ever met. During my tenure as Business Manager of the Jacksonville Symphony in the 1960's Ira was the moving force that rescued the Symphony from extinction. Althougt losing touch with Ira over the years, I know he will be greatly missed. God Bless his family and friends!

My heartfelt sympathy. . .
