Reflections for Deputy Sergeant William A. Cook
Deputy Sergeant Cook, Although you may never be cognizant that this reflection exists-The memory or your service and ultimate sacrifice are recognized in Danville annually. During Police Week the past 15 years since I have been in office, we send a reminder to all of our staff to remember you and remember how you died. Also, a NLEOMF etching is affixed at the front door of the courthouse to remind our sworn staff of the dangers of this job. Unfortunately, we don't know a lot about how you lived, other than serving honorable for our office. If any relatives happen to read this message, feel free to contact me. I hope you are resting easy Sarge, we will continue to defend our community in your honor.

Rest in peace Sgt. Cook. There was a Metro-Dade Police Officer named William C. Cook, killed in the line of duty on May 16, 1979 in South Florida. Thought you may be related.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 113th anniversary of your death. 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 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.
