I could not believe that he was involved in so many organisations and to the degree to which he was involved,&#8221; he says. More than 50 people attended the memorial on Thursday last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the neighbourhood watch, Darryl was also employed by ECP Security at the time of his death.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He had a disability, a slight brain damage and low muscle tone, but he was involved in everything. He even volunteered at the fire department,&#8221; says Graeme. Darryl was staying with Graeme and his wife at the time of his death.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Monte Vista Plattekloof Glen Neighbourhood Watch thanked those for taking the time out to sympathise. &#8220;We would like to thank all the neighbourhood watch members who attended the memorial service. A special thanks to District Watch, Fidelity ADT, ECP, Goodwood Community Policing Forum, Securemed, Bothasig Community Policing Forum and PWP and Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch for attending,&#8221; says Leone Pretorius, secretary.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NHWMembers_39549.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Friends, family, colleagues and residents paid tribute to Darryl Cook last week.
