Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

At the high school prom men take ladies on that special date. When you met Karen, it was special too. The epitome of two loving persons combining as one. You shared a short marriage only because of the sacrifice you made protecting Dade County and its citizens. You kept your honor, integrity and dignity at the optimal level and never once strayed from those journeys where justice and firmness were needed to fight an adversary that can be as dominant as evil. The good people and you were the cream of the top law enforcement personnel here in Florida, Officer Cook, no doubt that chapter on ethics, humanity and its humility have been written and Our Creator has your adoring soul of wisdom and vision trolling above and keeping your eyes on those who now strive to serve with as much passion as you faithfully demonstrated. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. One minute of hope and a lifetime of memories. Your life, Officer Cook, was pristinely crafted by The Man Himself. I'm sure Karen misses you even though she has remarried.

Since we are the freest world then benefit of doubt should be given to everyone. That is unless you have a proclivity to committing the worst of violence. You stopped problems, Officer Cook, before things got worse and on May 16,1979, you did everything the way you were trained along with your partner. You were heroic and humble, honest and humane, dedicated and determined to see things through so that our harmony and pursuits in life would be happy ones. You were entitled to see things beyond the scope of their outcomes and you had more to fulfill, I guess as I've said many times, Our Lord needs His heroes and heroines of conviction and character soundly sheltering those who have paid the ultimate price for liberty. We salute your unselfish commitment and won't forget your gifts to humanity. Humility can silence the loudest of those who talk and don't act. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Ignorance cannot be put ahead of your routine. Violence is unforgiving and it takes the certain temper to go out and patrol looking for some sense of decency and good grace. Your shining soul, Officer Cook, was very blessed as it served the greatest purpose on behalf of Dade County. It protected and never provoked. I don't know why Mr. Pearsall was bent on destruction and ruining the lives of those sworn to defend our freedoms and liberties. It takes a certain acumen and awareness to carry out daily roles where stress and danger release their evil inclinations upon a society that looks for some sense of dignity. Your principles and dignity, Officer Cook, were top notch and nothing will ever tarnish the badge of boldness and distinction your heroically wore for six years of resilient commitment. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Dawn arrives and another day of challenges. Our Lord put us through vigorous tests to witness if we are up to snuff. Tasks become more difficult.

Words can seem meaningless unless the emotions of humility and humanity touch the very souls of character. Yours, Officer Cook, was heroic, humane and brought down wickedness and for making the ultimate sacrifice may you so be solemnly saluted for wisdom and vision.

Tyranny and terror strike fear no one wants. Its size and leverage sometimes so large it takes an entire department to combat its rages of ruination. In Dade County where you were respected and greatly admired, Officer Cook, your years as a public servant were marked by violence and unrest.

You were a man of gallantry on all your faithful missions imparting the words of boldness and integrity to other brave souls who too searched and looked to keep us serenely safe. Always civility and its sanctity on those streets where peril and danger seem to lurk. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Simplicity is good for some and for others all our work, toiling and sweating makes for better people. Police have a tough enough job already sometimes standing for hours in a baking hot sun or in a torrential downpour. You enjoyed your job, Officer Cook and were a highly admired colleague to all. Dade County received a fair amount of courtesy and kindness from you and you made for safe travels all by your unwavering and unselfish integrity, honesty and dignity. If all men and women were lacking in character, most have it some need a little kick in the rear to get going. You were a motivated and dedicated leader of others sharing and helping them pursue the very wanton violence that took you from us. Never more closer to our hearts and minds. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
