John E Koch

John was a veteran of the Vietnam War and a volunteer selectman for many years with his local town government. An ardent Boston Red Sox fan, he rarely missed the chance to watch a game and support his team. John was a dedicated husband and father who will be greatly missed by his family.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar Frederick Koch and Mary Fried Koch, his elder brother, Carl, and his nephew, Richard.

John is survived by his wife of 43 years, Constance Wagner Koch; his children, Christian and Kari; his loving grandsons, Luca, Anton and Winston; his twin brother, Richard; nieces, Trisha, Mary and Carolyn, and nephew, John.
