Fuels allow us to function, to drive our vehicles to wherever our journeys may take us. Yours, Officer Cook, started roughly forty-eight years ago maybe a little before that time when you began your career at the Miami-Dade Police Academy. All the difficult class time, training, practicing, physical tests and mental aptitude all geared toward preparing you for your chosen career and very noble professional paths in life. The trials, the trails all with some degree of obstacles, but, you chipped away and never gave up. Your family, your beloved Karen, your comrades and close friends all knowing, all understanding the ramifications of your roles,tasks and central duties of integrity,character, honor and dignity. Humility and destiny all faced evil toe to toe and face to face never budging nor inching away from our very harmony which is the foundation and cornerstone of living. Health, prosperity and happiness were your companions too, Officer Cook. Heroism not forgotten. Virtue not given in vain. Heaven and Our Creator have watched over you and your spirit and will do so forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The measure of success is one small step in mankind's humbleness. To channel and to champion the just causes takes all the skills and human gifts from above to make any sense of where society is headed. Things were surely headed in a positive path, Officer Cook and when that fateful call came in you went to that scene even though you and your last partner, Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln were not required to go. You put your life,career, morals and dignity above all else to attempt to calm down an irrational young man who turned out to be heinous, cowardly and wicked robbing you and your family of your reverence, integrity and most importantly, your life. Dade County has not forgotten its outstanding hero, a source of light glowing from your heavenly heart and soul. Your spirit remains alive so long as your family lives on carrying the torch of your undivided tenacity and holds your heroic legacy close to their souls and hearts every second. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
