Another police family I had the humble pleasure to meet, Officer Cook, was Detective Scott Richard Rakow of the Miami Beach Police Department killed in the line of duty June of 1988 and if he were alive and with his beloved Toni and married daughter Erica he would have been my age sixty-three in July. Another officer I never got to meet was Officer Emilio Fidel Miyares of the Hialeah Police Department killed in the line of duty in November of 1986. He left a widow, Theresa and a son and daughter. They would have been married forty-five years this August. Officer Miyares would have also been sixty-three years old born ten days after me. He left Cuba to come here to live and to serve humbly as an angel also. I drive by his sign in North Miami after visiting the Jewish residents at Villa Maria Nursing Center near where your collague and friend Officer Keith DiGenova once lived. His twin brother Kenneth lives nearby.Both very sad because they left wives and young children behind. Nothing is worse than you giving your life that day of May 16, 1979 when Dade County lost a real honest and heroically dignified gentleman, a human being whose eyes and ears guided your paths of truth and trust,such virtue and sacred journeys all now in heaven soaring high above your family who cherishes the opportunity to carry the mantle of your legacy. A cornerstone and foundation built to last forevermore despite this constant violence and unfathomable evil we battle daily.
