I will celebrate no mans death. Neither am I obligated to mourn.

"…while also donating more than $1 USD billion to philanthropic causes…"

Sounds like a great guy.

Hm. Remember John Donne's writing, and ponder for whom
the bell might toll tomorrow – anyman, perhaps ?

RIP. Sadly, one can be remembered for many things, not all of them fondly.

He donated billions of dollars to medical and charitable foundations, as well as cultural institutions(NY Post). He was a strong supporter of individual rights and freedom. He will be missed.

Hopefully, his Foundation will carryon his great work.

RIP, Mr. Koch.

From what little I know of him I would join Stone Mountain rather than 138 Sqd. RIP Mr. Koch.

Same same. Thanks Dave for the counterpoint to the hate.

You can come to your own conclusions
just depends how much charity money it takes to
knock out the precieved negatives.

Anything I would say would just get me DHed

Sad, just sad. The fact that so much hate is directed at someone because he disagreed with someone's view of the world. RIP sir.

Adios.

I am sure that would be the spin he would have bought for himself. Ask his other brothers (not Charles) what they thought of him.
