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.

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.

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.
