Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Reverse the trends of ruination and somewhere peace and harmony will be restored to those who so desire security and safety. Dade County like many communities requires faithful and determined service and preservation to survive the waves of mayhem overtaking them. Your leadership and abilities, Officer Cook, were the tools of your profession where resolve along with dignity and integrity can humbly carry a hero's trips far down the road. Police needs people of devotion and the mental and physical makeup in order to overcome wickedness. This world has good and bad about it, the only thing is the good shall outweigh the evil and your rersourcefulness helped to stem the tide of tyranny, Officer Cook. You were a person of conviction and ideals so morally you were able to function in the demands of a stressful role which anything can happen. What happened on May 16, 1979, should not have happened as you performed your position by the book and just did your best at appeasing a troubled young man. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Saluted for salvation, wisdom and vision to see us through turmoil.

If we keep praying that redemption will come sooner than later. Your beloved family will get to reunite with you, Officer Cook. They have missed your laugh, your smile and witty personality. Your colleagues and friends have missed your honor, loyalty and devotion to your faith and resourcefulness. Dade County has missed your courtesies and professional demeanor all through your esteemed commitment and boldness to take whatever heroic actions were necessary to quell evil. All the character, all the charm and grace has been very much missed. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Our Creator has a most humble and distinguished lineage of angels.

Your side, Officer Cook, was concerned with peace and calmness. Having integrity and conviction only supported your navigations around Dade County and in turn helped to arrange the proper administration of security and safety trails for all concerned. Your career and life, Officer Cook, were founded upon the principles of excellent character, commitment to both excellence and pride and the notion of noble actions, heroic in nature which in turn rescued your fellow officers in peril and those citizens involved in that nasty domestic dispute in which you gave your life. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Buoyed by bravery and boldness humble bestowed upon your soul of serenity, Officer Cook, you traveled out into those dangerous corridors where conceit and callousness rested trying your utmost to restore a sense of calmness and caring for one another. If we factor in all positive attributes of your wholesome and humble life, we will find honor blanketing your dignity and integrity the same way humility, civility and sanctity blend in with hope and desire, your constant and considerate loyalty and treasured abilities to promote enhancements that have remained anchored down forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Up in heaven eternal peace needs no harm aimed at its angelic heroes and heroines who faithfully pursued evil while endeavoring to secure a taciturn environment for us all.

The brave and bold who sacrifice their lives, their deaths demoralize everything life and peace represent. Anarchy and bedlam stand for unruliness which in turn may lead to violence. It's the root of all evil and must be quashed. You were great at putting out the fires of wickedness here in Dade County, Officer Cook. Your heroics and honesty were well respected as was your intense dignity, desire and unwavering integrity to all professional calls of duty. You can't be forgotten. Badge#1664 and the uniform worn proudly and humanely humbly went out on the streets to secure happiness, peace and the goodwill of all mankind. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Anytime one takes a life of a devoted public servant of character and the highest of morals, think twice before acting! Keep watching over us, Officer Cook, as we kickoff 2018 in good health, peace and nothing but esteem and mutual respect for one and all.

Disaster causes those demons inside those who stoop to commit such diabolical acts to manifest into bigger and more reprehensible inclinations. They must be stopped and short circuited at once. We had you, Officer Cook an d a host of other talented men and women brave for sure, magnified in honor and loyalty too fighting with all their humane and cherished integrity and dignity by their sides. It sure made lives of those living in Dade County during your watch more peaceful and promising. When one has character and concern at their side, the only thing that can derail a life and career is one who deliberately takes a young man, a hero of the highest calling answering what might be their final call. Sadly, serenity and safety was breached when Mr. Pearsall took your life and professional journeys of justice and fairness away from you, Officer Cook. Plain old appalling and heinous to say the least. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. God's humbleness shines wonderfully against your honored and reverent soul of safe passages. Those destinies should be here right now going forward. It's your family who goes ahead with your heroic legacy stamped and sealed with acumen and clarity, wisdom and vision for generations to come. To all now patrolling please be careful and safe and to those future men and women recruits take heed. Stay honorable and humble. Bare responsibility and direction wisely.

Humility and humbleness make honor and dignity stand just for a moment because we know while good people are out reaping what they sow, those who stoop to commit wicked acts of evil are also out on the streets disturbing the public's peace and serenity. You stopped things from happening on May 16, 1979, Officer Cook and for what character and morals mean you did an outstanding job maintaining law and order in order for lives to be saved, not more to be lost. You gave your life and career, Officer Cook, one of valor and vitality so that our happy travels may continue. In eternity where you now rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, it will be forever etched in stone and in our hearts and minds what a real public servant, admired and respected is all about. Our Lord keeps His lighthouse constantly lit brightening up His flock of angelic heroes and heroines who fought for a cause, justice and equality for all. Humility and decency make up one's own devotion and dedication, yours, Officer Cook, meant the world to everyone, family, colleagues and a plethora of good friends from around our nation who miss your congeniality and smiling face. Pride and perseverance went round and round.

It's hard to replicate honesty, integrity and dignity, although most men and women who serve faithfully have had these morals and values drilled into them as young children. You and Nancy learned your lessons very well, Officer Cook. Mr. and Mrs. Cook, you should be very proud of your children and especially your beloved and heroically darling son, "Billy." An instrumental public servant whose warmth and friendly demeanor assisted him in his pursuits of peace and quiet for all Dade County folks. They could never forget his ingenuity, desire and steadfast dedication and determination which made him a humble and humane leader of other brave and noble comrades. This perpetual battle, a war that is cast over evil one day with your treasured soul looking over us from God perfect kingdom will conclude and allow for our journeys and missions of faith and goodwill to continue uninterrupted. That bright smile is sorely missed in a world still befuddled and mystified by too much mayhem and kayos. At least you made lives, all lives matter. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. The righteous reaps their rewards, the wicked get their punishments meted out by Our Loving Creator.

If we are fond of someone we will do whatever is needed to keep their friendship. Friends nowadays are a dime a dozen. Better to make friends with someone than an enemy out of them. How could anyone in their right state of mind want to harm a well respected and honorable man of dignity, integrity and gallantry? Unwavering in your resolve, Officer Cook, you simply were doing your job that day of May 16, 1979, as you did everyday for Dade County citizens cherishing the moments to magnetize and to galvanize peace and togetherness with safety and serenity. All done with the humble intentions of preventing more violence and bloodshed than already was occuring. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero of morals, the fabrics of excellent character, loyal commitment and staunch convictions.

You were the commander of courage, commonsense and coolness under pressure. You were the conveyor of conviction, commitment and excellent character. You were a dedicated police officer, Officer Cook, distinguished by heroism, honor and loyalty to all comrades wearing the very same Metro-Dade Police Department uniform and badge of alacrity and boldness in being aware and astute in times of duress and calamity. God has many things on tap for His law enforcement personnel all striving, serving and protecting the peace, unity and the quality of life that both happiness and liberty ring true. Never forgotten for humane and humble endeavors, rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Police leave their families never knowing if that's the last time they will ever see them again.

Its wickedness so spread out far and wide that challenges the hearts, minds and will of the many loyal and heroic men and women. Dade County saw plenty of your resourcefulness and unwavering resolve, Officer Cook and in the end your character, desire and class will be fondly remembered as well as your distributing peace and unity all will be solemnly saluted. Gallantry and good grace never forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You put out a lot of fires with your renowned ferocity and travelled far and wide on your unrelenting tenacity.

Your courage and humility blazed a trail of tenacity for all other brave and humane heroes and heroines to follow in, Officer Cook. Civility, reverence and the formation of good character permitted you the opportunity to see your journeys of justice and mankind through. God only knows why? At a tender young age of twenty-five years with more left to fulfill, Dade County was for six years under the scope of your excellent morals and the values so dear for any servant to fight through this tunnel of terror. You will always be noted and admired, Officer Cook, for instilling serenity and sanctity in a community where hope and the desire of all to pursue happiness was helped along by your heroic actions.

Gallantry and grace are not gimmicks and so too is courage and valor. Neither can be made light off either.

Driving around with your windows open gives one more appreciation for their surroundings. What has transpired in Dade County all these years later is the direct results of your resolving character, courage and the commitment to excellence. Officer Cook, you were the shining example of a sincere and devoted public servant whose skills allowed the hopes and happiness of a community so large to revere you. Enhancement can only happen when honor, grace and the appearances of integrity and dignity are accounted for. You brought welcome relief to an area in which your memory remains engraved in our hearts and those of the people you served and saved and in particular your colleagues brave as you who go on battling this terrible and miserable foe, violence, which usurps wisdom, vision and the understanding of why morals, ideals and values matter.

If you take wickedness, evil , violence and terror out of the equation, then society as a whole has a better chance at peace and prosperity. Your heroic endeavors, Officer Cook, reached out to Dade County's community where courage and wisdom, knowledge and understanding helped to further compose good relations. Obviously, a man of humility, class, desire and dignity all from your upbringing from your devoted and loving parents assisted you greatly in your life's pursuits sadly cut short by the very violence you were tasked with eliminating. You did your part very well and showed why you have been so honored and saluted for practical perseverance and unwavering resolve. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

There are those who lack honesty and diligence, these are the ones who in the end will receive their just rewards. Heaven help them if they stray from duty. Police work is not easy. It's not some piece of cake you cut and eat. It's a profession, a calling of sorts for those who choose to challenge what is out there to preserve and to save. Lives matter. Lies tatter. Reputations may become soiled and tarnished. Broken affirmations may spell doom and disaster if not acted upon. You performed your onuses willingly and quite faithfully, Officer Cook, at least assuring Dade County'd citizens hope and not despair. Good morals, values and character that conviction and commitment bring helped you for most of your career. That day of May 16, 1979, there you were in Liberty City in Miami listening to a call for help with your partner that day, Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln and you went, did not have to go, loyalty and resolve led your journeys and then sadly you made that ultimate sacrifice on our behalf where God has your humble and humane soul in heaven for eternal safekeeping. You were superior and outstanding in coming to the people's aid and those of your esteemed colleagues. Heroism, integrity and humility toward mankind not overlooked. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your uniform was worn efficiently and quite proudly. You were a Godsend and a most blessed gentleman, Officer Cook. What a loss!
