Farmington Hills city council members on Monday honored retirees Dean Cobb and Duane Fox, who in September completed a 230-mile walk to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention. 

Dean Cobb of Hartland, who taught at North Farmington High School, and Duane Fox, who served as a Farmington Hills Police Liaison Officer at the school, met with well-wishers at a pre-meeting reception and later accepted a proclamation. 

"Our hope is for every step we took, we made one person aware of what we consider an epidemic," Cobb said.
