Friendship starts with a greeting and so everyday you greeted those in Dade County with a smile and the politeness that follows a loyal young man's exploits into the jungles of peril. Those paths are full of something and it was your responsibility, Officer Cook, to fix what needed fixing and to transplant some safety and liberty into those cherished lives. When good character meets up with marvelous mettle, then the morals one is raised with come to the top more quickly. You remain a gentleman of grace, integrity and the practices of dignity so vital to battling evil. Terrible wickedness that still plagues our humanity today and because of your absence, Officer Cook, things become a little more hectic. I would assume your soul revered and austere is watching over your family and those of us desiring quiet. Humble and humane, heroic and wise beyond your years. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
