Ed Koch was fearless, priceless and loyal \u2014 a combination not found in today’s politicians<\/h1>\n

He took heat for his bipartisan efforts, but he forged relationships and did what was necessary to make New York City a better place. That\u2019s what Ed was all about.<\/em><\/p>\n

WILLIE ANDERSON\/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS<\/em><\/p>\n

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty \u2014 that was\u00a0Ed Koch<\/a>. He never gave up and he never let partisanship stand in the way of doing the right thing. I think a lot of people underestimated the brilliance of Ed Koch, the legal mind that he had, the ability to cut through things and understand.<\/p>\n

He was fearless and priceless. And what you saw is what you got. That\u2019s not what you get today in politics and in too many political leaders. They want to be all things to all people and they\u2019ll promise them anything with little substance behind it.<\/p>\n

Not Koch. When you were his friend, you couldn\u2019t have a better friend. I never had a better friend.<\/p>\n
