Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A deck of cards has aces, spades, diamonds and clubs. Likewise a fully honest and dignified public servant must have upon them a clean uniform, shiny badge along with integrity that must always remain central to their earthliest missions at hand. The scope of your journeys, Officer Cook, had more, more heart, reverence and the virtue that a wise man of thoughtfulness possesses. Dade County should and I know they do consider themselves most fortunate you were around during that period when tensions and evil were brewing. You endeavored to stop a madman that fateful day and your performance was outstanding as every character and element of resolve and resiliency was expended to create what should have been a more peaceful and non violent confrontation. Police need a means of versatility at their dispatch to bring about safe roads. You'll always be held in high regard and will be saluted for bravery and serenity forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Unfortunately the world has changed so much since you left this earth over forty plus years ago, Officer Cook. A society that tries employing faith, hope and goodwill seemingly at wits with unrelenting evil, such violence and terror that crushes any positive movements toward peace, stability and civility between one another. Your honor, dignity and integrity were the fruitful beginnings of a career working for Dade County and its people. That responsibility included having character, conviction, commitment and all the mindful heart and soul that humble pride and resourceful excellence would create never to be forgotten. Your heroic actions not just on May 16, 1979, but, everyday demonstrated by any shadow of doubt the kind of sincere human being you were. Your family is and will forevermore cherish, admire and love you. They can feel your embrace and still look at photos of a smiling, yet happy and humane young man growing up and only giving your parents and other family members joy and gladness for what you desired to become. A great public servant sacrificing your life for your friends and comrades. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
