We live sometimes to experience pleasure, but with pleasure there is sometimes discomfort and pain because of problems we are dealing with. Police work deals with a plethora of issues, dilemmas and situations that come up and need solving at once if society is to function and live in a stabile and free environment. Dade County, Officer Cook, was your home and where you grew up to become a very excellent public servant. First and foremost you were devoted to your parents, sister and beloved wife, Karen. You sir are surely missed by colleagues, friends and a host of people who knew you. A legend of heroic proportions whose strength of character, commitment and convictions were always so valued, cherished and loyal. For without honesty, integrity and dignity abounding around your unwavering and unselfish heart and soul of trustworthiness and truthfulness, then dedication, devotion, faithfulness and resolve would certainly not exist. They all lived in your trails and paths so humbly blessed and taken willingly to restore peace, stability and liberty for all. Mankind and humanity have missed you very much and the crying tragedy is that none of this should have happened. The badge and uniform you donned and when you responded to your last mission here on earth you performed and did everything by the book to save the citizens and your faithful comrades from further harm making the ultimate sacrifice of vision, virtue and valor. Wisdom and maturity beyond the crowd as that phrase goes. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend, hero and angel.
