Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The only addition by subtraction that calibrates is getting rid of rogue and dishonest public servants who betray a sacred trust. Truth of the matter is that all loyal and dignified professionals must act accordingly when the safety of mankind is on the line. When peril and danger lurk you know it's time to get to work. Dig deeper and look for some common ground by which serenity and harmony can share with one another. You practiced and prepared well, Officer Cook, for all your duties and for this Dade County is grateful and deeply indebted for your heroic service. All determination and all character. As clear as a bell, crystal wisdom and vision for a more peaceful future. One made brighter if you were here today with your family, Officer Cook. A profound loss of a precious soul to humanity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Terror razes that awful bar of ugliness, while all men and women must rise above evil and look to unlock the chests of freedom and peace. You did that pretty well, Officer Cook, on behalf of Dade County. A hero of precision and desire, whose honor and integrity expanded well beyond the expectations of humble dignity and the fact that our safe trails can be directly attributed to your unselfish and humane actions of bravery and boldness as one acting to strikeout evil. Always a cherished and loyal warrior whose family and colleagues will honor your memory and pay homage to your composed humility. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Never a loose thread, dirty uniform and a pair of scuffed shoes. Always the pride and class of wearing your professional outfit of awareness and acumen so that evil pays heed to your reverence and respect of all mankind, Officer Cook.

The task is tall. The idle sit and wait. Life can be like a lonely road one travels down. I know that feeling, Officer Cook, as nearly every Monday afternoon I go to Naples, Florida to pick up a lady and drive her back to Hollywood, Florida. She takes care of a Rabbi's children who attend schools in Miami Gardens, Florida near where you and Karen lived. But, seeing that you had a ton of friends in and out of your job that created a more unified, steady and stable environment. Dade County felt your generosity and valor all throughout your life and career of humility, honesty and loyalty. Dedicated to morals and character, an enhancement of heroic means brought about by your unwavering and unselfish wisdom and vision to help and eliminate violence and terror from our midst. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Police officers young and old must never capitulate to peer pressure. An incident took place in St. Louis, Missouri two weeks ago, Officer Cook. A young woman officer, Katlyn Alix, was shot and killed by another officer we will leave his name out. He and another officer were on duty supposedly to serve and they were at a home after 1 am. They were fooling around with a loaded gun and Officer Alix was shot and killed. I believe they were playing "Russian Roulette." A heck of a time to be horsing around, possibly drunk and deserting their posts. Hopefully her family will get answers and he can be locked up for life and of course never be a police man again. Your heroism , honor and character, Officer Cook, were never in question and neither was your wisdom, dignity and humane humbleness which brought security and stability to a community you treasured living and working in. Respect is earned when resolve is met. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Believe in yourself and never let hesitation creep into your mind. Action and sound thinking will ultimately help avert adversarial evil. Your body and mind, Officer Cook, were always sharp and astute. Your skills and savvy helped protect the integrity and honorable dignity of all Dade County. A wise man listens and reaps humility through their honest and heroic mannerisms. We will never understand why Mr. Pearsall did what he did. And your memory and legacy stands for conscience, consistency and the pride you had in donning a uniform of character, courage and commitment to be perpetually honored. Saluted for distinction, sanctity and the saturation of serious convictions imparted upon mankind daily. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Police work is not like playing possum. You must be out in the community facing trouble and peril face to face never dodging danger. Your assignment is to serve and protect the public from adversity. You did that very well, Officer Cook and the people of Dade County honor your humble heroics. Your integrity and dignity adding a newer meaning and dimension to our lives forevermore. Safe trails, peaceful pursuits of joy and success all because you cared and took decisive that awful day of May 16, 1979, when an evil's man's violence took you from your adoring family and peers of justice,truth and trust. The best of Our Lord's flock of bravery and resolving humility sleeps comfortably in heaven's havens of humanity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Karen was your beloved wife and you were her beloved and gallant husband never to be forgotten and saluted solemnly for inspiration and thoughtful fruition.

Shrewd but never rude. Courage but never conceit or deceit. Decisive never doubting. Durable and diligent. Honesty, decency and dignified. Always a confident integrity that stoic character builds from within. You resided in Dade County , Officer Cook and make no error, your ferocity and its tenacity allowed you the chance to be more successful at getting to the core of callousness and pure evil. Things don't always get solved, but with resolve at least there is that fighting chance. God never expects perfection from His earthly creatures, just some creativity and basic instincts that help Him guide you along the terrain. Humility and humanity speak to the heroic virtue of a vigilant public servant who gave his soul of loyalty for his community and to rescue his comrades from unfathomable violence all at the hands of a berserk man. Your life and career, Officer Cook, followed those wise habits of choice, values, scruples and the morals to maintain composure during duress and stressful times. A competent leader of others because of maturity and the versatility of clear and valid vision. A vision so unique it's a terrible shame, Officer Cook, you could not personally witness all these enhancing moments brought forth through your heroic actions everyday to steer society one way and that's forward full speed ahead.

Like a kite that flies high, so too does a hero's honorable inspirations. All your dreams, aspirations and goals, Officer Cook, were fulfilled in twenty-five all too short years of life. Violence an done man's inner hatred of society and its public servants poured that gasoline and lit a spark of gigantic proportions. LIberty City in Miami, Florida that May 16, 1979, a hot and sunny day saw police officers embroiled in a bitter domestic dispute between a man and his girlfriend. God thinks a we may just ponder and wonder why? Why did Our Master take from his family and this world a stoic man of rationale, a real humble and intensely dignified gentleman of integrity and character? To sit here and think all these years later you made, Officer Cook, the supreme and unselfish sacrifice of your humility and honor to impart some safe trails for all mankind. Dignity should have allowed you to continue living. For some getting out of bed is challenging enough. So too when you left your beloved Karen that morning who knew it would be the last time you embraced her and said I love you. Makes you cry. I am doing it right now as I reflect back on your heroic life and career of principles. ideals and values. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
