Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Police take different courses in solving crimes. Though, the paths that are taken are ones that consist of dignity, honor and integrity, they can be long and winding. For those who think they can stray better ponder again. Our Creator is observing your every move. In Dade County your treks, Officer Cook, were made a bit smoother by your perseverance and vigilance. If only everyone were as perceptive as you. It goes a long as to why you were so admired and loyal to your comrades. It takes a team effort to accomplish. It's not a singular issue. When faithfulness and fairness to secure the necessary peace and togetherness bond as one entity, chances are looking good for things to happen in a positive manner. The enhancements of construction take on a newer meaning. Since wickedness is only destructive, public servants as brave as you, Officer Cook, had to dig in and channel your influence in a most calming and persuasive way. Never forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your character and commitment to excellence and pride has made your legacy shine like your beloved soul now serving in God's eternal shelter where other angelic heroes and heroines walk that sacred beat.

Today, we turn the clock back one hour. Time though moves on in life and after one has heroically served their missions. Through the devotion, hope and faith do we go about our businesses on a daily routine. Though, there is nothing ordinary about a young man who wanted to become a police officer. You trained and worked exceedingly hard, Officer Cook, to be the very best. For some it is difficult at best to keep their honesty and integrity intact. But they must, after all dignity too must take its professional appearance from those two important traits. It is why you had success in protecting an din serving all Dade County and its citizens. You have been honored and solemnly saluted for having the valor and ambition to take on major challenges which test any public servant's resolve. The war against evil has been started, now those flames of destruction must be extinguished, they cannot smolder anymore. It took your keen vision and unwavering intuition and leadership to make it happen. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. To spring forward and then to fall back has its repercussions. The ramifications of your solid performance, Officer Cook, have led to the enhancements of peace and solidarity for all mankind. Our community could not be more grateful. the gist is for officers to be aware and cautious when tackling crime and its sinister clutches.

Samson versus Goliath. Good versus evil. Surely goodness and its goodwill to all mankind will triumph. When the righteous servants of Our Creator must deal with the indignity of the defiant, something must give. The earth shakes and then maybe violence with tumble. It can only happen if any officer's integrity and tenacity are greater than the sum of the terror, turmoil and torment. The sum of your work on behalf of Dade County citizens, Officer Cook, was stellar and supremely cherished. You have received the salutes of bravery and heroism from your colleagues, friends and family whose righteousness in their pursuits of life and its challenges has allowed your soul to lift itself higher each day. Their missions are a continuation of your endeavors of effort and energy that help make this world a better place to thrive in peace and to channel unity down the lanes of endowment. What more fitting a legacy than to have your foundations of enhancement stay as cornerstones of kindness, fairness to all and consideration, compassion and care for a community where you are respected and revered as a hero for the eyes of humanity. The ears hear. The vision is clear. The lips spoke the truth. An outstanding job saving comrades and civilians that awful day of May 16, 1979. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. One huge loss for society. Though preservation and conservation stay well grounded in those who cared and watched your professional conduct of courtesy and morals mirror your terrific upbringing. Your folks have been and your mother will always be proud of her courageous and beloved son, Officer William Coleman Cook, Badge#1664.

To live, all one needs is food, clothing and a shelter. But to become a duly professional police officer one requires skill, fitness, dignity, integrity and honesty. Hopeful optimism is nice but to do the job right and to promote peace and its stability you need everything clicking as one. The wheels of justice and fairness need to go in unison. You were a successful person, Officer Cook, because of sync. For resolve and its effect to happen the timing of situations must be right. In Dade County happiness and the gift of life were your inspirations and realities, Officer Cook, to see them through decency, desire, drive and determination was central to the chores at hand. Achievement breeds accomplishment. There was no talk of failure as heroes are expected to humbly and humanely deal with whatever comes their way. Colleagues salute your unwavering boldness to action, the conviction to excellence which was your life commitment. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Foundations can be torn down and rebuilt. Legacies from the courage of one's heart stay forever as cornerstones of a well lived life and a career shaped by ethics and morals.

In life sometimes there are those who just want pleasure. You can't always have your cake and be able to eat it also. You receive what you deposit in the bank. Withdrawals only can happen if you give. You took life seriously, Officer Cook. You made people laugh. Yet, we cried when you were taken. I'm sure your family, your mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, she is a great lady, very devout and loyal to her Creator. God has plans for us all. He designed the trails for you to become a dignified and valiant public servant. Service and protection went along on patrol just as integrity and honor. No officer may leave without this. They are inseparable. They are the bonds that Dade County and its residents were acclimated to. Resourcefulness . Reliance. Relief and resolve. Peace and dignity for all mankind. Presented by a treasured and loyal comrade, yourself, Officer Cook. Those missions of hope and faith honored by unselfish humility to see your life and career through, though you had more left to achieve. God dictates, He directs our destinies each day through good and bad. Violence shall one day be cast aside as your beloved soul watches over those who now proudly serve their communities in respect and in admiration. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your legacy of character and concern were heard through your soft tones of tenacity and loyalty. You were your parents' hero. They could not be any prouder of your life and what you meant to Dade County. I'll keep praying for you, Mrs. Cook. Take care. Still very upset I never met you. Two weeks. You were already out in San Diego, California. I should have looked you up after your beloved "Billy," Officer Cook gave his life for his friends and community. A righteous, truthful and pious gentleman with a kindred spirit that soars higher and higher on God's golden wings. Those wonderfully crafted wings given to all of His angels of heroism.

To understand what needs to be under scored, police need to have the right attitude if they are going to be able to make a dent in the war over violence. Dade County just buried a police officer yesterday. In Iowa, two more officers will be laid to rest next week and in New York another of New York's finest paid the ultimate price for peace and unity. They are integral to life wherever one pitches their tents and puts down their families to live and to prosper. You committed to justice and fairness done properly, Officer Cook and completed without any hesitation. Your beloved character and dignity, honesty and integrity will be cherished forever as you were a champion of unwavering conviction and courage from your heart that comes from a most respected and loyal professional public servant. Service was diligent, prompt and with your passionately engaging smile. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

In anything one endeavors to become there usually is a means to the end. Police work is a never ending battle between good versus evil. So true and so too is there supposed to be a never ending amount of honesty, dignity and integrity exerted to bring about peace and goodwill for all mankind. You were a decent and honest human being whose service won't be forgotten. In a past reflection, Officer Cook, I think the word I meant to use was dignify. How can any community dignify officers being killed brutally and heinously by thirty to sixty rounds of gunfire sprayed in their patrol cars? We must stand united in our efforts to make lives matter and bring back sense to America as you did to all Dade County through fellowship, leadership and that word character. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You were a patriot, Officer Cook, more than that a man of diligence and humility that tests the resolve of other brave souls to conduct their affairs that way too.

One day violence will be wiped out. We leave it up to brave and honorable men and women to clean up the streets where peace and togetherness can march as one. For Dade County to live and to function according to plan they needed your integrity, Officer Cook, a man replete with humility and dignity daring to conquer those missions which are not of the norm. Evil never is. It interrupts the moments of laughter with sounds that can only scare us. You were a gallant and graceful man who stopped that situation from becoming much worse. It was real bad. Very sad. You paid the ultimate price, Officer Cook, for our liberties to carry on. Now those family members and colleagues roll on in their missions with the gusto and courage you displayed, my neighbor, friend and hero. A man of character serving with resolve and heroic humbleness that had benefited all of society. Rest in peace. A sound mind that led by example and spoke in a calming tone of voice. You did your utmost, Officer Cook, to rid wickedness from our midst. May 16, 1979 will be solemnly remembered. A true and genuine gentleman of peace and prosperity. What a Godsend! The beloved and darling son, brother, uncle, great-uncle and devoted husband. You are very much missed today and forever.

More often if one completes their tasks as charged than the success rate is much greater. Those who lack the proper morals to conduct their daily business, you can only wonder what they will become. The gifted and blessed have that certain inane honor, integrity and dignity that instills good faith for that servant. Public service takes its toll for those who can't adjust to being a righteous individual. Protecting and serving was your passion, Officer Cook, those citizens relied upon your unwavering professional instincts to see them through. To see quietness, unity and fairness for all was your promise my neighbor, friend and hero. Your character and class, decency and devotion saw to that. Comrades salute and honor their brave and loyal fellow officers who place their lives in harm's way to preserve and persevere. It was your humbling diligence, Officer Cook, made possible by unselfish vigilance that allowed and continues to allow enhancement to flourish. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your concern and resourcefulness are what legacies do for the families who remember their loved ones. Your community, Officer Cook fondly acknowledges your engagement and your smile. It was that smile that was the hopes, prayers and faith that saw us through. it helped you accomplish. There was more left to fulfill. God knows His angels. They serve Him as they walk that sacred beat on His golden streets.

The righteous are revered. The wicked wander and they can only wonder what they make of themselves. It is of course those who stay on the track of tenacity and honesty where their strengths lie. Dignified and full of integrity was how you could proceed, Officer Cook. It was the only way a young man of compassion and achievement could make his patrols around Dade County. Its freedoms and peace brought about through your unselfish understanding of what the residents required. A person of charm and character only works one way and that is as a professional. Public service is not for everyone. It takes a special breed of person sure in their commitments and convictions to tackle this rigorous and dangerous job. You were special, Officer Cook, cherished and respected by all your colleagues. Never forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The day to day grind of all police officers is geared to their valor and ambition to both serve and to protect the public and their property. Your life of dignity, integrity and honesty, Officer Cook, helped make you the gentleman and first class citizen and officer of professionalism and reliability. There can be no denying your intelligence, wit or wisdom which carried you through your missions during your career and in your pursuits of happiness in life. Life has its enjoyments.

In any profession persistence pays off.

As the police department in Miami, Florida gets ready to bury a fallen brother tomorrow, Officer Cook, violence in Iowa claimed the lives of two more brave and honorable men. When will it stop? Even after all you did on behalf of Dade County and its citizens, this menace seems unperturbed in its advances. So long as you kept your cool, your calm and honor together, Officer Cook, the plans of peace and unity could worship and stay devoted to one another. A man cherishes his life and a career where one never knows when destiny may come calling, you took your best effort and sheltered those who needed it the most. All through nobility and dignity, humility and the integrity that any officer must keep in their arsenal. A great man. A legend of character, conviction and commitment to set things straight, you will always be so honored for composure and compassion, fairness and firmness when it was counted on. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. when any officer is ambushed and shot between fifteen and thirty times in a brazen and cowardly manner, what more than can any community dignity as an answer to this most perplexing problem? I understand this man turned himself in to face his charges and justice. Better hope and pray justice does not pervert itself by turning a blind eye.

Honor, loyalty and duty constitutes the character of a person. For any dignified officer out now on those streets serving their community, a little integrity also goes a long way into one's service of peace and liberty. For Dade County, it was your bond, your commitment to succeed mightily, Officer Cook, in this difficult battle over wanton wickedness. You answered your final call on May 16, 1979, at around 2:10 pm and less than five minutes later sadly, a life of pious and righteousness, a career crafted within the foundations of faith and devotion, a cherished respect for your position and those you watched over was taken in one heinous act that nearly took the lives of your partner and your two other colleagues who were obliged to go to that dispute in Liberty City. Officer Cook, your heart was bigger than most in the sense of loyalty, professionalism and in giving back. Society go more than it could ever imagine. Your unselfish consideration. Your humility all to humanity. Most of all it had yourself backing up calls of assistance. I can see easily why you were years ahead of others. Now I can see why you would have made a great leader. Success did not get into your mind. You were thoughtful and astute. Charismatic and measured in your tones of voice and tenacity. They carried your heroic legacy by leaps and bounds. You'll not be forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Problem solving is every police officers goal, but more than that it is their way correctly doing things right. Getting to the heart of the matter. Good versus bad. One day the evil and its odor will be eliminated from mankind so that they can live in unity and prosperity for all who ever live and walk the face of this Earth.

Your legend is the embodiment of purpose, vigilance and astute perseverance. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You would have celebrated your sixty third birthday on November the 30th.

Two candidates with two completely opposite ways of looking at how to fix our country and the problems that still perplex, puzzle and confound us at times. You seasoning as a police officer was just the proper measure in assuring peace and serenity would be properly dispersed to all Dade County citizens. You did atop flight job, Officer Cook, a man of dignity, respect and authority. Your integrity, valor and character helped you conduct your professional actions. Gracefully and gallantry were riding with you on all patrols. Nothing would deter you from facing evil and engaging it, keeping it from spilling over on those streets where peril and pitfalls were lurking. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. A polished legacy. A shining badge and shoes to match and a uniform worn pristine. Perseverance and accessibility like no other. Those comrades have remembered their colleague of admiration and genuine intuition. All that mud slinging and name calling between the parties should and must cease if our country is going to carry on with the lives of our children and their children on the line.

Values matter. In our society it is cooperation, respect and responsibility that is cherished and can only be enhanced through future generations. We treat athletes like rock stars, when they go astray, use drugs, drink and operate vehicles under the influence or worse commit domestic violence against their spouse or a girlfriend, sometimes they are given a hall pass, in other words they dodge punishment. I'll bet you played baseball, football and basketball, Officer Cook. I know you played tennis with your colleague and friend who you saved that fateful day, Officer Keith DiGenova. Why can't people be held accountable for their actions? Police have to tow the line. They must be honorable, dignified and have integrity within their professional attire. One month ago on September 25th of this year, Miami Marlins star pitcher Jose Fernandez died in a tragic boating accident on his boat named "Kaught Looking." He was fond to have been over the legal limit and had cocaine in his system. Twenty-four years old. He saved hi smother on a boat coming from Cuba. She fell off and he rescued her. He left a pregnant girlfriend with a daughter to be born in February now without her dad. He made a terrible mistake and paid with his life. The county or city wants to rename a portion of NW 17th Avenue in his name. That same street bears your humbly heroic name. I totally understand. You were a Dade County police hero who brought honor to the people you served and protected. Their missions of peace and unity were delivered solely on your unwavering heroic actions of faith, hope and a driven determination to achieve which you did. You cannot be brought back, at least you will and have been saluted and rightfully honored these last thirty-seven and a half years later for your sacrifice. A decent man. A treasured gentleman of humility and character. That street as are all streets named for bravery and integrity should carry the messages loud and clearly, freely too. Freedom and liberty travel together precisely because of your conviction and pride in commitment to excellence, effort and endless energy. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Jose Fernandez is not an evil person. Many Cubans admired his bravery years ago saving his mother's life. Sad his life ended too early in a boat at 3:00 am in Government Cut in Miami, Florida in those dangerous waters while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. That was a shame. Your life ending was a tragedy as you performed the way you were instructed to. You preserved and saved. Your legacy leaves us no doubt to wonder how much more you would have fulfilled? Never forgotten. You are to be praised. A truly humble Godsend. All public servants must and are held accountable for their professional and private conduct. The Internal Affairs Division is the backbone that serves as a check and balance for all its duly sworn and brave men and women of the law enforcement field.

Officers are our partners in pursuing peace yesterday, today and tomorrow. They make the process work within their environments of enhancement. When good hard working women and men who channel their passions and energies and loyalty into making neighborhoods safer once again then we know the job well be done right. It was Officer Cook. It was your masterful eyes and ears, your hands and feet that worked in unison to unite and deliver peace and tranquility for all Dade County. Violence is the sad realization of what evil can do, it causes terror, torment and tension. It can drive a wedge between those who strive for prosperity and preservation. Our minds don't think as clearly. But with your hope and dignity, Officer Cook, dreams and aspirations were realized, optimism and hope set its foundations down for a better life for all. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. One hero whose legacy stands tall with those who like yourself, Officer Cook, sacrificed for enhancements to stay their courses. People deserve the best. You were just that and humbly more than a Godsend.

The satisfaction of a job well done should make any police officer proud. It can only happen if that individual is dressed formally with morals, character and integrity. All the dignity and honesty is meaningless unless accompanied by true faith and humility. All of which you possessed, Officer Cook. The building blocks of a solid career and life founded on the principles of loyalty and a budding perseverance to administer justice fairly and for all. Dade County received the compassion and tenderness of your beautiful being, Officer Cook. It provided moments of reflection which shall not be forgotten. How can anyone forget a happy young man who set out to to perform a profession with inherent wisdom and leadership strong enough to muster the courage to battle? Evil takes the talents and God given skills of a few who are brave enough to channel their convictions and commitment into a difficult area which at times is hard to navigate. You kept on, Officer Cook, until the Almighty came to call your lovely soul back home with His many angelic heroes and heroes of humanity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
