Public servants stand in harm's way to protect and serve those same values and morals they believed in. Character, caring and convictions like never before. Dade County and its folks saw you toiling and tenacious on their behalf, Officer Cook. Unwavering and unquestionable integrity and dignity flowing like a reservoir. That bridge you built up was constructed from the fabrics of humility, humane acts of heroism and indeed motivated by all that you learned and trained for in the police academy.

Versatile and vigilant, diligent and valiant your life and career was brought full circle the day Our Master of the Universe called you back home to heaven sadly on May 16, 1979. Thirty-eight years ago one awfully tragic day in Liberty City in Miami took the wind out from under your family, beloved as they are and to your humbly esteemed colleagues who fought and continue battling this seemingly very large adversary, violence, terror, wickedness. It all has a name and until police can get a proper restraint upon its movements, then no telling what more calamity will befall us. Hopefully, the day and nigh twill occur sooner rather than later when its enhancement can be stopped dead in its tracks. Your trails my neighbor, friend and hero were paved with perfect perseverance with justice for all and the opportunity to make a difference in this world. You succeeded where others may not have. Rest in peace. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Cook, Tidwell and Wilkerson Families at this solemn time of year.
