Your former colleague, brother officer and close personal friend, Officer Cook, Officer Keith DiGenova is having his 70th birthday March 3rd and I believe lives now in Ormond Beach, FL. So many years and he has suffered from that day being shot and nearly taken from this world. You and him were very close and played tennis at the park in North Miami. I'm sure he remembers you he called you Bill which most people called you. You were a man who demonstrated a humble confidence, humane dignity and integrity that accentuated your trails of trust and truth that followed you throughout your life and duly uplifting career. Dade County salutes you, Officer Cook and we must never forget you because you were there no matter the dilemma, issue or circumstance. A man of wisdom, heart and virtue whose vital versatility handled every element of your humble position. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. To bad I can't find out about your last partner that day, Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln. Hopefully he and Officer Edgerton are doing well. Robert Edgerton is 82 or 83 years of age now.
