Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To bear indignity is to face shame and humiliation. To face danger as a hero and expose it for what it is and to give your life to eradicate it from this world, this says a lot. It certainly says a lot about your character and devotion, Officer Cook, to all the calls of professional duty. Dade County for as long as my family and I have lived here has seemingly had its good and not so good days. You made people's lives matter through calming and influencing those to pursue peace and unity. Nothing worse or more sorrowful than being taken way too soon with more left to fulfill. God knows when fruition is there. It was your honesty, integrity and dignity that allowed movement and aspirations to continue thru the cornerstones of enhancement. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You'll always be so fondly remembered for your humble esteem and courage from your very kind and giving heart, one that cared for a community where you have been honored.
