Capable and surely responsible, you handled all your professional duties as any loyal, humble and honest man would, Officer Cook. Going by the department manual is one thing, taking matters into your own hands by lack of knowledge, reason and vision is another. So no matter how you went after evil on behalf of the residents of Dade County, a venue where your vim, vigor and inner strength of character and the incorporation of good judgment was called for we the people knew the outcome would match the effort and resolve. Comrades, friends and your beloved family have all missed your presence very much these last thirty-eight years, on November 30th you would have celebrated your sixty-forth birthday. Heaven awaited your heroically humble arrival as those brothers and sisters of the law enforcement communities were there to greet your humility and human feats of tenacity with open arms. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. The loss to mankind and our society, Officer Cook, just hollers foul, sinister and plainly heinous and cruel what happened to you just as to any dignified, loyal and faithfully honest man or woman. You go out and patrol for peace and liberty for each person never really knowing if you'll return home safe and sound. One call, one knock on the front door no family member wants to receive. Its message disturbing and full of profound sadness.

People who elbow their way ahead of the line have issues just as dangerous drivers who knockdown cones, zip in and out of the traffic flow, we call it now lane surfing. Police must drive fast at times with their sirens and lights on to race to a scene and yet honesty, dignity, integrity and good old fashioned common sense must be applied. Always, Officer Cook, were Dade County and its folks shown politeness, common courtesies and the thoughtful consideration and care for their peace of mind and safety. Back in your day you were the Central Division's best of finely attuned and trained officers whose outstanding heroism shall never be forgotten. Class, desire and character oozed from your badge and uniform of proficiency, effort and the knowledge that maturity and a high standard of morals bring. It delivered peace, serenity and the notions of nobility while maintaining civility and sanctity for all. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Humanity beckoned, Officer Cook, you willingly and fearlessly answered that call on May 16, 1979 as well as other times when ferocity and journeys motioned for your undivided attention. Saluted and respected for all eternity.

We all have some skeletons in the closet so to speak. But, if this wave of infamy and violence keeps interrupting the flow of normalcy we'll be in trouble. Your tenacity and even mannered style of policing, Officer Cook, was just what the citizens of Dade County needed. They wanted your reverence, your respect and admiration. They got the entire package of morals, values, ideals, integrity, dignity and honesty all wrapped around your uniform and badge. One of boldness, bravery and the visions to commit to wisdom, ingenuity and the sense of fairness. When justice must be doled out, it must be completed by someone as you did, Officer Cook, within the scopes of serenity, peace and tranquility. All the proper character must be summoned from your heart and very spirit, one that now and forever gently flies higher each day. With a kindred spirit, a renewal and the hope that optimism will someday reign supremely humble over violence. Humanity demands a little touch of humility from its devoted and loving public servants. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Wickedness perpetuated in any house of worship is just plain wrong, forbidden, callous and the epitome of evil. Pray for those who lost their lives and security yesterday in Texas at the hands of a madman. When decent and faithful women and men are taken suddenly from their communities, families and peers of resolve you know and understand the world is a little less stabile. Stability keeps foundations, cornerstones and enhancements anchored down like a crown on your tooth hopefully for good.
