Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Hunches are all well and good and their intentions are sincere. But, if you want to make hay better have a blast of boldness and bravery lifting your humility and honor to a higher level where dignity and integrity can incorporate themselves more into those grand battles. Violence disturbs and perturbs all at the same time. Your perseverance and preservation of all Dade County, Officer Cook, made it way around a community that admires and salutes your heroism. From humility to the top chambers of your sweet and virtuous heart and soul. A gentleman not to be overlooked nor of course forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

With a hammerlock over us adversity's arms and legs must be severed to keep its advances from truly harming and ruining the harmony and unity mankind begs for. No one had to beg you, Officer Cook, you were humble yet proud to perform your sacred tasks on behalf of Dade County. The results were not what your family nor peers expected and that was for you to be escorted back to the gates of perfection as an angel whose decency, dependability, honesty and integrity were the cores of your unrelenting courage. Integrity, ingenuity and intervention all tried to stop a wayward and violent man from doing more harm that day. You saved your comrades and the citizens and will be saluted for heroic effort and all unselfish heart and soul. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The sun shines this morning this moment but later on who knows God's meteorological plans? That very day of May 16, 1979 the sun was shining when you, Officer Cook, gave your life for Dade County to reside in liberty and in tranquility. One odd yet boldly evil man took your life of honor,integrity and dignity away from you,your family and close comrades and nearly killed your fellow officers. Heroism as I've said is not just placed on a silver platter and gift wrapped. It's learned, shared,practiced and eventually is the makings of a solid foundation, a meaningful and reverent home environment of which the Cook Household was forever devout, honest and faithful. I still picture the cross swaying in the breeze in front of your parents' home. Always so loyal, dedicated and a disciple of scruples and ethical conduct. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Callousness and heinousness should just crash to the bottom of the earth never to be seen or heard form again. This statement won't occur because somehow evil just keeps repeating its permeation around a society built and established to be free of misery, pain and hurt. Torment, terror and turmoil torture the innocent and a young man, a valiant gentleman with a good name and a most heroically blessed constitution went after such unending violence. You changed the landscape of Dade County, Officer Cook, to be forever saluted. Not just honesty, humbleness and living a life of humane contentment with your most beloved Karen, it was and always will be about sincerity,heart and a dignified integrity in your every movement that is to be gratefully cherished. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
