John "William One Sac" Crawford has passed away...

It has always been my belief that you get the answers to all the questions you have had in life. Sort of a reward for enduring all the hardships and heartaches that come into our lives from time to time.

So here is to you finally having those curiosities fulfilled in ways you never considered...

And to John's family, take comfort that Jon will always be in the hearts and minds of everyone that he has touched. It is big world full of many different people, and John has touched far more than you can possibly imagine. You will never be alone...

I just want to say thank you although i didn't really know John, i use this site and want to say my gratitude for his work in contributing to provide us this great service.

fighters will always be remembered

his energy will be amongst us, ats is a testament to that.

R.I.P John be safe and God Bless

Didn't know the man. I won't present myself as if I did. I do feel the news of his passing. As I would and will with the same news of anyone involved
With this site. I love this place, and so at least a part of John.

Travel well

"John was that unique peerless soul who felt compelled to ask difficult questions and seek answers, no matter the nature of the truth to come. His passion for the truth and knowledge was surpassed only by his gentle kindness and wit."

This is the world i would like to live in, a world made up of like minded John's. From what i can tell he was a very loveing, and suportive individual with the insight to know how to question thoughts of intrest. This is the first i have heard of John. It will not be the last. I do not believe in coincidence, I felt as if called to research a fellow truth seeker IandI teacher. A true teacher teaches his/her truths. Not just a disperser of knowledge.

Bless The CREATORs' troops in this vast consciousness of life.

God bless you WOS. You will be very missed. May you have many more journeys to come. You are an inspiration to all.

I'll never forget when I was going through spine surgery hell... John called me everyday. He sometimes called several times a day just to see how I was doing and tell me a joke or try to make me laugh...

I look back on those days and realize he was in much worse agony than I was but you'd never know it by listening to him.

I've lost a brother in the most real definition of the word. I always called him "My Brother From Another Mother" it hasn't really hit me until today just how true that is.

In that loss though, I see a community here at AboveTopSecret.com that once again has proven that there is a wealth of goodness in humanity in spite of what the Main Stream Media, the power mongers and the political manipulators would have us believe about ourselves.

THANK YOU...

I have been looking in through various ATS threads in the last 4-5 years wishing him all the best through the battles he has fought with cancer.

R.I.P.

Condolences to friends and family...

Rest in Peace John

My deepest sympathy, I remember reading his posts. Damn, such a shame to lose someone dear to the ATS community. Great poster, person, excellent human being, some of which we hope to all achieve. RIP William One Sac, RIP from all here at ATS.

My condolances to all his loved ones. He will be missed.

It is a very sad day to see such an admired person leave our existence only to enter a new path for truth, I hope you finally receive every truth you have longed to know about.

Rest In Peace William One Sac

My condolences to his family and friends

Best regards

I have only had the honor of speaking with John a short few times. Little did I realize just how tremendous of an impact those times would have on my life. Upon talking to him you immediately notice his kindheartedness shining through.

A few other things are noticed to. It is so easy to tell that he cares. With a lot of people you can never be to sure, but with John, it was obvious. He had an insatiable desire for truth that even the most ravenous researchers of the world would envy and I think this is evident when looking at the research he did about Camp Hero.

I truly believe that anyone who has read even a single post of his will be unable to forget this man and that as long as there is a single surviving member of ATS he will not be forgotten.

To anyone who has not read his threads or posts, I urge you to do so and allow him to impact your life for the better.


There is a quote from John in Springer's signature that I think everyone should take the time to go read. This quote reads:

"Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but about how to dance in the rain"

These are words that I will never forget, thanks to John.

So, I hope that each of you will take just a brief moment today and stop to think about him. Think about any conversations you might have been blessed to have with him. Think about one of his threads or posts that you have always enjoyed. Simply take a moment to honor a truly great man.


Here is to you John. Here is to dancing in the rain.

It makes me happy to remember the strength, kindness,courage and love that I saw in John and that he shared with others. He was a dear friend for many years and I have many treasured conversations, letters and little keepsakes from our friendship. In the past couple years I haven't had a lot of time for keeping up with the goings on of ATS but the one person who kept pulling me back and checking messages was John. Miss ya and Love ya, Buddy xoxo

In the proper ATS fashion, I would just like WOS to know that I will miss him, and that I would like to see him take the fight to "the other side".

Take care, WOS.

Wow.
I did not know him well, but he was apart of the ATS family, and I am rather choked up by this...

Rest in peace... you will not be forgotten!

RIP WOS

Now the journey begins.........

Sorry to hear about this terrible loss. Its nice to see the community coming together again like this.

"Did you ever wonder? Why people gather when others die? Why people feel they should? It's because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesnt just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed forever." The Five People You Meet In Heaven.

I never really "talked" with John (besides some posts about TinWiki, but I don't think of that as talking to someone), but since I first found ATS in 2003 I could see that he was, even back then, someone that all the people that knew him praised for the way he went through life, helping everyone that needed and never complaining about his own problems.

He kept being himself up to the end, so even in his death he was not defeated, he was always the same person.

People like John "William One Sac" Crawford may have short lives, but their short presence makes our world, through the people that knew him, a better place.

I am one of the persons that, not even really knowing him, was affected by his pure and kind "soul" (for the lack of a better word) and that way he helped me in my quest to be a better man.

Rest in peace, John, and thanks.
