Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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.

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.
