Police officers serve many different functions. There are those who are community service officers. There are those who work as sketch artists. And there are those who work at crime scenes taking pictures for investigations. Being an avid photographer, Officer Cook, I believe you were looking to transfer to the crime scene unit working as a photographer. perhaps less stressful though I know you still and would have remained an excellent officer. A professional of honor, dignity and integrity through and through. Dade County came to admire and respect you, Officer cook, for your courage, convictions and that word, character. Without some semblance of devotion, determination and decency, the class gentleman you were and always will be saluted for would not have been. God produced and directed your pathways of perseverance and proficiency and took them all straight down those trails of tenacity in which peace and unity could be distributed fairly among all Dade County citizens. Today and forevermore will you be fondly remembered for having the humble and humane morals and principles to deal fairly and compassionately with all mankind. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Shrewd, yet confident. A born instructor to all comrades who witnessed your sense of logic and the maturity beyond your twenty-five years to adapt and to be able to resolve and tackle all tasks and challenges placed before you. That word destiny really has a calling. Its brave followers are now those righteous heroes and heroines patrolling God's greatest of blue skies. Fruition for them was here. Our futility must not be failure, as we must turn them into opportunities of happiness and joy to make our warriors and saviors proud of us. Your family, Officer Cook, is mighty proud of you, though they miss you very much.
