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.

I only know Dave through his awesome sister, Lisa. He left the County by the time I was hired in MCEM. I pray he and his family find peace and love from family and friends.

Dave, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I've known you since the early 80's, we go way back to the early days of ECC before the Radio Division was formed. I still have tools you provided from surplus. I think of you each time I use them. Thank you, again, old friend.
