Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Guts and fortitude put the stamp of resolve and resourcefulness back into integrity and honor. It's the only way dignity can function during a public servant's career of stardom. Your toiling in Dade County on our behalf, Officer Cook, made us better equipped to live more serenely and in peace. In the Hebrew language, peace means complete and so sad your missions of decency and character had to end that hot and sunny May 16, 1979 day. Your soul encircles our very world you protected, Officer Cook, so gracefully, with great humility to honor a humble hero forever. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Partying and drinking in excess is bad. Persevering and patrolling for crime over and beyond the calls of duty is not. You never needed prodding, Officer Cook, as you were that reliable professional always encouraging your fellow sister or brother to greater heights. Since haste makes waste, better to ascribe to the heavens for God's open ended honesty which you possessed in your missions to keep peace and harmony here as a staple. Dade County would have been worse without you that day, Officer Cook and thirty-nine long years later we are a little less safer because of your absence. It can only make your family's heart and that of your peers grow fonder. That humane and noble character accentuating all we strive in life to achieve. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Mettle and honesty have meaning and so does dignity and integrity as every last ounce helps during moments or hours of calamity.

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.
