To delve into dignity, devotion, decency, determination and dedication, you must first begin to swim upstream in unshakeable conduct and that includes carrying dignity, humility and honor far and wide. The winds and breath of evil seem to flourish and with that being said, all public servants must advance their wisdom, convictions and commitments to honorable scruples. Nothing better than boldness, nothing more righteous than being humble and reserved so long as we knew you always had Dade County's intentions in your golden heart, Officer Cook. You wore a pristine uniform and carried your badge of honor exceedingly jst as prescribed. No man or woman who ever served and partnered with you could say otherwise.

Happy are those content with their lot. You were a healthy, happy and maturely humble man, Officer Cook. That alone should have kept you safe and sound. Tragically, evil conjures up other nastier thoughts. It has its own mindset and conclusion. Mr. Pearsall's ill gotten evil left your department void of your unassuming and heroic virtue and validity that you handled all your assignments with honesty and the scopes of security, integrity and dignity. You were confident in being available and able to conquer duress here in Dade County on its behalf. A cherished labor of bravery and valor always to be founded in bricks, marble, granite, whatever your good name and Badge#1664 and its yeoman work won't be overlooked.
