Some years ago, I had asked for reflections, to be sent to me at Southwest (formerly known as University) Station, of the officers killed in the line-of-duty, there. A retired cop by the name of Ralph Kelly , wrote to me from Yarnell, AZ and shared the following about Delmar Cook:
"Delmar was an academy classmate of mine. He and his partner recieved a radio call of a violent male mental. While approaching the house, the suspect exited brandishing a .45 cal. automatic. Delmar ducked behind the closest object, which was a bush. His partner stepped back and behind the police car. The suspect fired, hitting Delmar behind the bush, and killed him.
Delmar was a friendly, quiet, serious, deliberative, pipe-smoker...sort of a Sherlock Holmes type.
It was one of life's rewards to work with men of this caliber...they will not be forgotten."
Sincerely,
Raplh Kelly
