Former Mayor Ed Koch passes

Former Mayor Edward  Irving Koch passes. The Iconic Mayor famous for asking, " How Am I Doing?" and noted for standing behind his strong beliefs was 88 years old. Newarkers may not know this, but Mayor Ed Koch went to South Side High School ( now Malcom X. Shabazz) . Koch will truly be missed for his open, honest and in your face style and opinion.
