SCHUMER STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF CONGRESSMAN JOHN LAFALCE

New York, N.Y. - U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer released the following statement on the passing of Congressman John LaFalce:

"Congressman LaFalce was as Buffalo as they come. He had one of the biggest brains and the biggest heart. John was a legislative giant and a dear friend going back to our time serving together in the House. He would see a problem, whether in his beloved city of Buffalo or across the country, and dedicate every fiber of his being to making sure it was solved. His dedication to public service and passion for helping others knew no bounds. He loved Buffalo and always defended Western New York. He was a good and loyal friend, and I will deeply miss him. My prayers are with his loved ones and Western NY as they mourn this tremendous loss."
