Your loving smile has been missed so much. Your heart, soul and honor were the conveyors of courage, peace and prosperity. Dignity and integrity were more than your character traits, Officer Cook, they are every valid detail of your legacy which has stood over Dade County looking down on them from heaven where you have rested in peace my neighbor, friend and hero for the past forty-three years. It is a crying shame and horrible loss to your familyand department that carries your zestful missions forward with the same bravery, heart and vibrant soul all solemnly saluted for virtue and values. Badge#1664 was always there to lend a helping assist and there won't be another more resilient, faithful and resourceful public servant than you were. Humanity was crushed when you were taken senselessly, heinously and without any reason other than the coward that had an intense hate for authority and was obviously disturbed and without a mindful heart and soul. Officers DiGenova and Edgerton have never forgotten you, nobody has!
