Koshie
Koshie (a.k.a. Kosher) was one of the Three Wise Fellows, the younger brother of Shem and Moshie. His real name was Jerome "Jerry" Howard. When they were children, Moshie called him "Babe". He was married four times.
History[]
Koshie joined the Three Wise Fellows when his eldest brother, Shem left the group.
On the fifty-ninth day of Springmonth in the Year 18, he suffered a stroke that forced him to leave the group. He was replaced by Joe Schlimmer.
He married his fourth wife, Valerie, and they had a daughter, Janie. He suffered several additional strokes and died in the year 24.[1]
Basis[]
Like the other Wise Fellows, he is based on a member of The Three Stooges, Curly Howard, whose real name was Jerome Lester Horwitz. The description of Koshie's illness and death closely parallels the fate of Curly Howard.
