Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Determination leads to dedication and the devotion that one's own sacrifice demands. Your work and ethics, Officer Cook, only reinforced how good a police officer here in Dade County you were. You stood toe to toe and face to face with real evil. The violence of that man yelled loudly for assistance and you were present to back up your comrades saving them and those who you loyally watched over. A genuine soul of a man, so gallant and honorable, your integrity and dignity is what keeps the morale of a department at a high level. No wonder you were able to motivate and lead others through their trenches of tyranny. Always reserved and revered, respected and humbly resolute. Humanity received the finest attention during your all too short career in public service. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your family, Officer Cook, can look back with pride and cherish your memory. One heroic hero of a warrior.

My mind, Officer Cook, most times feels like a hot pot of coffee every morning, always percolating. What must not boil over is a public servant's temper which in turn could lead to careless mistakes that can cost lives. Your temper was just right and fitting for the rigors and perils that are associated with good police work. Namely, honesty, defined dignity, intense integrity, legitimate loyalty and the fairness of ferocity and desire doubling down on evil and its tormenting violence. Dade County we should have in mind was under your superior eyes and noted wisdom, the character and class of being years ahead of the crowd. No race to first, just good old fashioned law enforcement done the right and humble way speaking of ethics and idealistic ingenuity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Precision, proficiency and perseverance floated at the top of your charts of courage and conviction. Always fondly saluted and validated as a deliberate servant of rationale means.

Double up those backpacks of boldness, bravery and honesty. They'll come in handy down the line. Around the block in Liberty City over thirty-nine years ago was one of the most heated battles trying to overcome an emotionally challenged man. Depression and diabolical actions took your young life away, Officer Cook. Being depressed happens to a lot of folks and they do not go out and shoot and kill mindful and dignified public servants. Setting your eyes and ears on integrity does take much inner strength and character. You never let up nor backed down. Ingenuity and conviction would not allow your missions to go away. We are here to solemnly remember your humble and devoted service and prideful dedication. It is a never ending battle with adversity an anvil that keeps pounding and banging away. Police too must never take their feet off the pedals of mettle. Timeliness is the issue and positive results are to be humbly accounted for. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
