You were a righteously gifted and humble servant, Officer Cook. A man of God whose devout faith propelled all your journeys in life and during a police career that was cut way too short by wanton and senseless violence perpetrated upon your very soul by a troubled individual. You preserved the dignity and integrity through your heroic actions, those actions of character were reflective of how you were raised and properly trained to handle the rigors of delivering solid and serene peace and safety for all Dade County people. Deservedly so you have been saluted for having the constant humility which our society of civility and nobility shall have. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. If desire, class and decency are called for those who wear the uniform and badge of distinction, at least as you did, act professional and conduct your affairs as such.
