"In his service to the Federal Reserve, my good friend John LaWare contributed keen judgment and a deep and practical knowledge of the American financial system, developed during a long career in banking. His insight was invaluable during the deliberations that led eventually to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley legislation that modernized the legal structure of banking and finance. Most of all, he was a gentleman. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family."
