Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I meant to say that a diary lists one's daily activities and plans. We can plan for a bright future never really knowing if we will be present to carry on. When you left your home that early morning of May 16, 1979, Officer Cook, your beloved wife, Karen, your beloved mother, Mrs. Julia Cook and your beloved sister, Nancy, thought you would return home after your shift. Really very sad and just awful having your life snuffed out by a wanton and troubled young man. With everything to live for, missions to faithfully discharge and a growing family of great-nieces and nephews, your humble character, integrity and honor certainly has been greatly missed. Dade County and its folks received the fullest of your ferocity in their searches for peace and liberty. You battled as a heroic warrior right unitl your final breath, leaving no doubt as to your wisdom, vision and maturity beyond the rest of the crowd. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. We will try and take care. Just take care patrolled Our Creator's perfectly paved roads of resolve, its eternal peace will help you watch over your loved ones and those friends and comrades who adored and admired your giving spirit.

All lives matter. Blue, brown, green, whatever color uniform is donned for nobility and service. They all matter. When honor, integrity and dignity no longer count in this war over adversity and its wickedness, something is quite wrong. You performed your roles, Officer Cook, as well if not better than most. Dade County was well taken care of during your time. Such a shame you cannot be here today to relish in your family members and their happiness. Public service brought you happiness as did pursuing peace and liberty for all. You won't be forgotten for your humility, maturity and exceptional character and train of thought. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Justice beckons the brave and concerned. Unless you are diligent and superbly vigilant you should look for another professional endeavor.

That is why we have and had so many conscientious and loyal public servants like you, Officer Cook. Diligence and dignity all brought to a higher level of respect and admiration. A young man who devoted his entire faithfulness and character to conquering what surely ails our society. Thoughtful and tenaciousness never to be forgotten.

Police work is sometimes described as delicate, maybe like almost walking on eggshells or treading water. I don't think, Officer Cook, you were that kind of person. Only a duly loyal and dependable public servant. You arrived with your partner that day, Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln and had seconds to quickly assess and to analyze the dire situation you faced. With humble courage and bravery from your honorable heart and soul you did what you were trained to do. React and try to diffuse a dangerous domestic dispute where citizens and your fellow officers were struck and nearly killed by a troubled and diabolical young man's gunfire. You had no recourse, Officer Cook, but to fire on the suspect and what a hero of solemn character and commitment you are this day and since that day forever. Humility bonding with boldness on behalf of Dade County and its community that has changed by leaps and bounds since you made that valiant and diligent sacrifice. You made your family, your wife and mother, sister and your father, Charles resting in peace awaiting your gregarious presence. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Our Creator smiles down upon His creatures. Your bright smile, Officer Cook, has all the sweetness, security, serenity and safety wrapped up in those giant and sacred palms of the Lord. God took that cherished and respected soul back to heaven for all the love and eternal safekeeping only He can provide His angelic heroes and heroines.

Live and let live. One who lives by the sword as it is said dies by the sword. A humble and honorable man such as yourself, Officer Cook, lived their life by ethics, morals, values and principles all the humane results of one terrific upbringing. The trails of integrity and dignity never sidetracked your pursuits of happiness while navigating around the various venues of Dade County seeking peace and contentment for its people. Liberty City in Miami can be known as a hotbed for crime and disputes, all you did on May 16, 1979, was to try and quash violence from a sadly troubled young man a bit younger than you, Officer Cook. If only he had the vision, commitment and wisdom we may be speaking with one another today. Our Creator had much more grander plans for your existence as a heroic angel in the heavens above where your cherished and shining soul of serenity may forever watch over our continuations of concern and kindness as exemplified by your fine character.
