Created July 30th, 2025

Dave worked with me for 5 years in the early 80’s. Simply put, when Captain Dave Cook was working-the job got done-be it supervising/leading/taking care of the troops or taking care of the public. He is what any member would want as a boss-and any boss would want on duty. In his career he’s been a fire officer, ECC shift Captain and HazMat instructor.

Dave (59 years old) has been diagnosed with inoperable cancer(s) and has been given just a few months. He has health insurance but the treatment deductibles and related “not covered” costs are mounting significantly. I am doing this fundraiser so he and his family get a little financial help while dealing with this terrible situation.
