Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Facing destiny, one never really knows when the time will come. God humbly instills the gallantry and ingenuity in all His special people. Those who serve and protect, He guides them in integrity, honor and with an amount of modest dignity which in turn allows them the chance to succeed. Peace and unity are hard to acquire as it takes the special blend of humanitarian to handle and to convince others of how things must be accomplished. You were that angel of heroism, Officer Cook, the eyes and ears of Dade County and its people got your full attention, hopefully the messages you were sending out were heeded. Sadly, your presence is missed today and of course everyday. I believe what you conveyed back in your day was the gift of grace and character that Our Creator Himself gives to those devout and righteous individuals who serve a unique role in our society. If humility and humbleness could speak, people would stop and ponder trying to comprehend its meaning. Your life and endeavors mattered. Your police career, the uniform and badge worn smartly and the way we expect our most esteemed leaders to act. Morals matter. Commitments to quality and excellence matter. Life may be cruel at times even vicious, but it matters. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You were a pillar of strength in which to draw from, Officer Cook, thirty-eight years later is a long time, it might be wise to begin drawing and in taking hold. Taking charge and responsibility of your life. Its value is too much not to care. You were caring and concerned with the decency of all others. Class and consideration helped to champion your causes of faith, hope and goodwill.
