Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
No reminders are needed. They were your sources of sincerity, sweetness and a firmly trusted heart and soul. Dade County, Officer Cook, saw its hero of humility driving in and around the community in search of tranquility, hope and goodwill. The liberties we take for granted were meshed with integrity and dignity all designed to battle adversity and whatever strife came either your direction or our way. Safe to say plenty has transpired since you departed this world to serve as angel of valor. A sacrifice of virtue and resolve to lend its respect to our society which has missed you and won't forget your intuitive nature. Always concerned and loyal to all your peers. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

What makes violence and evil tick? We can't always put our fingers on that pulse. You placed your scruples, safety and honesty in harm's direction, Officer Cook, to make Dade County function more smoothly. Not always that way, yet, you took your tasks, roles and assignments seriously not matter of factly. Your crusades and missions are designed to spread the efficiency of hope, faith and goodwill far and wide rather than turmoil and chaos unleashing its ugliness where it does not belong. Truth, trust and resolve make their rounds daily while your soul and spirit rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You were honored for your heroic actions by many who paid their homage to your grieving family members who now go and carry on your legacy of impression and distinction, all humble and all welcoming.

Heaven is the most peaceful and perfect habitat for heroes of distinction. It's the venue where vision, visibility and virtue come close forevermore. Valor and accountability are all tabulated by Our King Himself who blesses, rewards and nourishes the very souls of the departed. You were one of many Dade Couanty heroes, Officer Cook, your smile,charisma and charm have not been overlooked nor forgotten. Dignity drove your intensity and integrity steered your youthful pursuits of peace and promise they would have continued if not for a callous, heinous and dishonest man who robbed you of your life,career and freedoms, a marriage so strong and loving. About thirty years after you gave your life she remarried and I believe lives in Minnesota. A great couple sharing many wonderful years soon in a few you and Karen would have been married fifty years. Goes by in a blink of an eye. A true colleague honored, saluted and fondly paid reverence for virtue and sanctity. A noble patriot blessed for his acumen, awareness and versatility. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

They all flowed within your heart and soul. Mankind surely has taken note and missed you very much. You contributed to the peace and safety of all Dade County, a community that engages its public servants. A gentleman with a big smile, cherished, admired and greatly adored by all. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
