My sympathy goes out to the Koch family. I remember his walk and smile when I was growing up with his brother Jerry.

Many people cross your path in life,

"Gene Koch" was an eveyday fixture in my life for the better part of the last 14 years. We were friends and then became neighbors. We rode many miles (on bike or in car), to many places, to see many things, and eat many meals, laughing most of the way. He was an intellgent and honorable man of good character and high integrity, with morals second to none. "Gene" was all of that and more! I will miss him for a long time, but I will never forget "Gene Koch"
