The
larger-than-life Koch, who breezed through the streets of New York flashing his
signature thumbs-up sign, won a national reputation with his feisty style.
"How'm I doing?" was his trademark question to constituents.
Edward
I. Koch, the master showman of City Hall, who parlayed shrewd political
instincts and plenty of chutzpah into three tumultuous terms as mayor of New
York with all the tenacity, zest and combativeness that personified his city of
golden dreams, died Friday morning at age 88.
Mr. Koch’s spokesman, George Arzt, said the former
mayor died at 2 a.m. from congestive heart failure.
You will be missed. Rest in peace and Godspeed.
