Yes. I kind of think of him as my Mayor - January 1, 1978 – December 31, 1989. I moved into NYC in the fall/winter of 1976/1977. A pivotal period in my "growing up".

rip to a guy who was so many things i love about new york. if you were to put a picture next to "new yorker" in the dictionary, it would look like ed koch. it would certainly sound like ed koch.

Yes, sad news..
He did a radio show with us every Friday until about a month ago.. Interesting character..
Nothing funnier than listening to him argue with a caller..

Keith,

Back in the late 70's I was a NYC cab driver. Way back the there basically were no Asian cab drivers. Mayor Koch more or less took over a very different New York; one that was left for dead and almost went bankrupt in 1975.

He was a good man.
