Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Jeff Walker Williams
May all the slain rest in peace.
Reflecting on the innocent killed that day.
My Great-Grandfather Judge Crawford was an upstanding, law abiding, hard working man.
Such a large part of our history was dimensioned
Because the Law was not upheld.
Not only was our family unlawfully Murdered, our land was stolen.
From what I am told it was 120 acres.
However our family was so devastated and threatened even generations later we still feel the sting of bigotry.
Justice was never served and the person of interest was never found on our land.
There will never be an apology to the Judge Crawford Family for this atrocity.
God please Bless and Heal our Land!

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 81st anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.
My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.
