Thomas Lee Koch, 80, of Gresham, Oregon, passed away on December 17, 2013. Born February 10, 1933 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he was the son of the late Victor and Loret Koch. Tom was a Veteran of the United States Army, having served during the Korean War. He was an Engineer who worked for many years on Radar ships, tracking missle tests. He was a proud American Citizen, who served in the American Legion Honor Guard, honoring fellow veterans that have gone before him. He was very well read, and a huge fan of history. If it was there to be known, Tom wanted to know it. Tom is survived by his sister Joan Koch, and his many friends in the Portland area who will miss him dearly.
