John Koch of North Myrtle Beach, SC, beloved brother and uncle, left us to begin his new journey June 19th, 2021. Born October 14, 1943 in Yonkers, NY, he was the son of John P. Koch and Cecilia (Deitzel) Koch. John served in the United States Navy from 1961 to 1965 and upon discharge attended Mercy College. Shortly thereafter, he found fulfillment as a firefighter for the City of Mt. Vernon NY. During the course of his 30-year career, he rose to the rank of lieutenant and in his latter years worked as the city's fire inspector. John took great pleasure in good books, creating his art, the company of friends and serene moments near the ocean. Although he may not have had a family of his own, he was very much a family man, providing love and guidance for his sisters and nieces.
