A twenty-one gun salute to a fallen angel of valor, honor and precise dignity and integrity. Twenty-one added together makes three. God, your home and your job, your employer, Dade County, Officer Cook, had the gladness, the galvanizing torch of tenacity, the guiding hands of humbleness touching their very hearts and souls for six of your twenty-five years of life, one cut way too soon by evil. The sad part is your family and the young man who took you had something in common. Being a drifter and a deserter is never a good thing considering he had a girlfriend and a child. Your loved ones were devout, faithful and down to earth even as the loss of you was being realized. Acceptance makes a heart grow fonder, though I don't know if they forgave the man responsible for you not being alive today and living a clean and healthy retirement with your beloved Karen, your staunchest supporter along with Nancy and your mother who was alive to mourn her beloved Billy, her hero and darling son so concerned for his mom's welfare and well being.

All the traits, elements and ingredients of your success and missions on behalf of Dade County, Officer Cook, were founded in ferocity, fairness and the firmness of truthfulness and trustworthiness. Big words but if any letter of the law is absent chances are success would be deemed as difficult. But, you succeeded in enhancing and in enriching the masses by virtue of excellence, model behavior and the quality of your character, spotless and respectful. We miss you and so does your family during these holiday events of celebration with your esteemed and cherished family members who have not one second forgotten "Uncle Bo."

I want to believe that most of humanity does not temp fate. For destiny is God's angelic like words calling us. You just try to function primarily on what you know you can achieve and Our Creator can handle the rest. Though you were faithful, devout and resolute, Officer Cook, The Lord was always going to be an integral element of your life, marriage to Karen and during your law enforcement career with Dade County. The watch kept ticking, your heart and soul were racing to that domestic scene, a call you were dispatched to a couple hundred times during six years of honorable, dignified and most of all integrity branching out at every turn and patrol of the very streets you were accustomed to preserve. A man mature than the crowd who delighted in protecting and in doing a special job not many would venture after. It requires discipline, hope, scruples and the professional conduct that those special individuals of virtue, vigilance and valor share. The constellations are multiplied tonight because of a hero with a connection to society, you touched the pulses of the people you encountered, embraced and uplifted with your marvelous acumen and wisdom. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

So dear, so graceful and very much so adored and beloved, what a shame and profound tragedy your life and career, Officer Cook,ended so suddenly and violently while you were performing your duties. Most recognize you did not have to answer that call you can put that in your rear window because you and your last partner, Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln were going to that scene because your ingenuity, integrity and dignity would never permit to leave the people affected and your partners who too were wounded to stay there battling for their own souls. Obviously, this man had no reverence for authority and he would have committed the most heinous act if allowed that cannot ever be when the public is in harm's way of its freedom and peaceful movement. Everything you did that day, Officer Cook, was done with class, proper character and the basic commitments of excellence and pride. Your department has always appreciated your undying endeavor, your unselfish heart and soul sacrificing for the humbleness of humanity.
