Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Push posh aside and better yet settle for resolve and honesty. A police officer's daily trips around his or her communities involve loads of decency, integrity and the humble dignity that those important and engaging calls of duty require. Sure a lot of sweat, energy and toil on your part, Officer Cook. Like I've always said you were a man on a mission of peacekeeping and building unity with character for all whom you loyally served. Your comrades in arms those retired today can look back and fondly remember your humane exploits that gained us our survival and security. Serenity built in with righteousness and nobly heroic actions to be etched in our minds and hearts for generations to come. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. At least you had a clue, a notion, Officer Cook, on trying to stop this young man from further harming other public servants and those citizens whose very lives you saved risking your own. Our Lord has blessed your family because of who you were and the principles you solemnly believed in.

Sturdier and more secure is how we feel since you left us, Officer Cook, because of one angry man's cowardly actions directed at you and your colleagues that tragically profound day of May 16, 1979. Dade County's heart was throbbing all because of your sudden departure from our midst. Terror and its nastiness took a beautiful soul of a man. A gentleman with a smile and a uniform distinguished by its likes of honor, integrity and the dignity to even begin to battle this beast of an enemy. No remorse. No regret. No fear only faithfulness and the fine tuned ferocity to see your life, career and journeys of stardom through until their fruition. We cherish you, Officer Cook, for your family can look up to the stars in the sky and see your very special heroic soul shining down upon them forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Those wings God gave to you, Officer Cook, are the humble reminders of a job well done. Bravery, courage and valor mixed in with ingenuity, wisdom and vision.

You comprehended the situations facing Dade County citizens, Officer Cook and through your humility and professional demeanor you were allowed to pursue evil and deliver the goods of grace and peace, unity and liberty for mankind. Today, decades later we so richly honor your character, dignity and integrity, it flowed back then and now those who have taken charge do so with the utmost humbleness and reverence for their positions of leadership.

Mr. Pearsall, you should have pondered and contemplated before concluding your ghastly and egregious actions against our most beloved public servants. They only wanted to help you. Officer Cook and his comrades were loyal and faithful deserving all the respect for saving us from terror. He was a special man, a young man who might have started a family one day if your anger did not boil over and take him from his loved ones.

The fundamentals of fairness start with the genesis of justice for all. There has to be a common ground for which to launch oneself into a profession so challenging, its demands and rigors can overtake the most resolute of men and women. Their hearts and minds have to have character and the fulfillment of honesty, integrity and dignity all of which you had, Officer Cook, as you fought for the lives of Dade County's people. You won't be overlooked nor forgotten for your ventures and concern and neither will our world passover your humbleness and humility, it bears out your heroic and persevering nature. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Sensibility can only equate to serenity and peace where bravery and honor follow. Catch up to integrity and wisdom, you'll find vision and dignity hot on their trails. Your confidence, Officer Cook, quiet and humble was efficient enough to derail violence and its pack. For those of us living in Dade County back in your day it was a welcome relief to see Badge#1664 patrolling the streets for peace and a little sanctity. For humanity, having a bit of humility and good morals means a lot. You possessed a lion's share of wealth in intuition, ingenuity and in intelligence, Officer Cook, this has and always will be so solemnly honored and so saluted for heroism beyond the threshold.

Desserts are for after a meal. Desertion is a cowardly act in which bravery is belittled. Its behavior has no place in our world. What plenty of room to roam is valor, vigilance and the constitution by which to stand up and wage war over wickedness. You did that for six years of loyal and dependable service, Officer Cook, on Dade County's behalf. You made peace, harmony, tranquility and civility all matter. Just as faithfulness, fairness and the firmness define your roles, so too was your class, decency and that word, character, it cannot be hidden as it stays with you in the heavens above where you now rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

How sad a world we live in when good women and men are gunned down and ambushed by the brazen persons living in our society. Where are their morals, scruples and values? We place a premium on the quality of life and the careers of our honorable, brave and sure minded. You certainly served humanity well, Officer Cook. You forged newer relationships among all Dade County citizens. It was your integrity, alacrity and desire that navigated your dignity as you battled senseless evil that took your young life and spirits of peace, hope and joy away from your family, friends and cohorts. Only thing and a most important message, it did not take away your pride and joy, hope does spring eternal and at least you get to smile in those skies above reuniting with your father, Charles. Keep observing us with your humane wings of wonderment as you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Mysteries are the intrigue for which our lives revolve around. It was in your resolve and good spirits, Officer Cook, that got the jobs and their tasks done smartly and humbly. Dade County was placed on a platform of peace and harmony because of how you lived your life and gave your life for what you believed in. Honesty, integrity and the codes of dignity spoke loud and forcefully and now colleagues and your wonderful family have saluted and taken notice what a superior friend and loyal partner you were to them. The commitment and character of a cherished, treasured and good looking young man of wisdom and conviction whose vitality sealed the prospects of a happy life for our journeys as noble as yours, Officer Cook, to plow on. You should be here to relish and to smile in your family's pursuits nothing keeps them down in particular, your nephew, Justin William Miller who looks like you. I met him about seven years ago at your folk's home and started a conversation with him. I gave that letter to your mom, Mrs. Julia Cook to him. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. If you read these reflections Mrs. Tidwell, Gina or Mr . Hyatt I just wanted to know how your mother and grandmother is. She'll always be in my heart and prayers. Just a devout, faithful and humbly genuine woman, caring and kind just like you her darling and heroic "Billy", Officer Cook.

The proof of a man's life and career are in the pudding. All anyone can say, Officer Cook, is that you were one superbly fine human being. Loved, beloved and worldly respected for your acumen, wisdom, vision and maturity beyond your years. A sweet young man of humble honor, dignity and the integrity to fight for what was right defending our freedoms and peace here in Dade County. Back then violence, racial unrest and terror's torments and tensions led to wide scale evil. On May 16, 1979, as on all other times you rescued your comrades and those civilians because it was your humane and humble bravery and humility from unquestionable morals and the character to act. Everything that could have been done was, unfortunately God had other nobler and sacred plans for your beautiful soul where humanity was best cared for. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. In large part your angelic wings spread out the safety nets of never better fortitude and the courage from your giant heart.

The waters of wickedness only get muddier and murkier by the evil that mayhem and mischief present when they are permitted to pass through our society as if nothing happened. You toured as in navigated during your watch, Officer Cook, in and around the corridors of Dade County searching for prosperity, serenity and unity when a frustrated and diabolical young man was plotting to harm, not only hurt but to ambush and kill law enforcement officials. Terribly awful your young life and its candles of courage were extinguished before your time. Only the best of character, morals, dignity and the honorable integrity and its purpose were shuttled back to heaven to watch over your family, friends and peers of perseverance and due diligence. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Humility and harmony from your heart brought endearment to one and all.

Try untying a knot, not always an easy thing to accomplish. Attempt to make peace and ridding the various venues of violence, no small potatoes. Meaning all the practice, training and field-classroom work does not guarantee a thing. This statement alone is a pity and quite sad. Tragedy brings out the humane and humble sides of our beloved heroes and heroines. Officer Cook, you were greatly admired and respected by all officers and whoever you graced for having brought civility and harmony to a place you called home with Karen. It is said in the Jewish religion if one buys burial property then they can be granted a long life. God gave you to your loving parents and sister, Nancy, for twenty-five years of vitality and the journeys where you destinies lied. I'm sure Karen, had to contemplate where to lay your heroically loyal and gentle spirit to rest. A lot of crying and emotion to be sure. If only they could take better care of the grounds at Dade- North Memorial Park, after all heroes are buried there and the families of all who rest eternally there are entitled to having their character and faith sleeping comfortably. You gave your life of bravery and ideals for those of us to cherish. My wife bought in Miami specifically in Little Havana at Mount Nebo Miami Memorial Gardens, a Jewish cemetery so when I visit my grandparents and in laws it is very sad and I do cry. I know where in one-hundred and twenty years we will be, Karen, had to take care in three days of providing you a final spot of serenity where to lay. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Honor, integrity, wisdom, vision and dignity, yours, Officer Cook, are forever in God's gracious and merciful lap where ferocity is profoundly honored as such.

Possessing a wonderful regard for life, it's no wonder you were a great man, Officer Cook, not only trustworthy, honest and righteous in all your actions of heroism and that fighting instinct within your heart and soul. It gave all Dade County residents hope and peace for a brighter tomorrow, just hoping as your family did that you were here to see those happier times. Sacrifice removes a revered man physically, it cannot repeat cannot undo what your bravery, integrity and the desire of dignity stood for, Officer Cook. It was loud and clear, tall and face to face with evil. That young man should never have aimed his violence towards you and your comrades as you were only trying to diffuse a delicately dangerous moment of fear in the hearts of those whom you served with excellence and humility straight from your soul of security. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Animosity always creates bad blood and once that blood is spilled it can never be taken back. Nothing you did, Officer Cook, was in vain, only the finest vigilance and valor befitting a true hero and savior.

Remorse does stir the passions of our hearts. It shakes them up a bit and that is where honor, bravery and their intellectual achievements lie. Your conquest of evil, Officer Cook, only improved our prospects for a better life in Dade County where you toiled feverishly and tirelessly from your soul for our unity and liberty. Freedom exacts a toll and the price paid was your life and nearly those of your fellow brothers who have lived through that enormously tragic day when Our Creator beckoned for you. At least you and your father, Charles, may he rest in peace canenjoy cerebral conversations as your two souls of peace and humility quietly roam around God's fruited plains.
