Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

No matter if the sun is burning hot or the moon is a big marshmallow aglow at night. Courage and missions to eliminate a surge of wickedness being levied upon a community where safe trails shall be blessed. You handled yourself, Officer Cook, as any man or woman would and displayed down to earth dignity, artful integrity and the respectful honor and humility that even danger requires. Always treasured and loyal to your peers. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Ferocity that fired its energy, heart and muscle at anything sinister enough to disrupt the quiet and serene flow of movement for all citizens of Dade County. Officer Cook, to look back and to recognize your trustworthiness, righteousness and resourcefulness really only skims the surface like glancing at the pages of a large book with its many chapters of bravery and honesty, integrity and dignity all perpetual and all persevering.

To Chief Geoffrey Jacobs and to Officers Jeffrey Jackson and Francisco"Frank" Piloto, I want to wish you and your families a Happy New Year and a very healthy and hearty merry Christmas. You all worked alongside of your dear and very heroic comrade, Officer William Cook, Badge#1664. A man of honored tenacity who was sadly taken by an evil man more than four decades ago. He is always in my heart and my family's as I got a letter from his beloved mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, may she rest in peace. I wrote to her and received a letter back just after she turned ninety-five. She passed last March 7,2019 at the tender age of hundred and three years old. Dade County was protected by a most proud and dignified man, her darling son was a gentleman whose gallantry just began to touch the surface of his roles. He was unwavering and a most resourceful public servant whose trust, truth and humility has been surely blessed,cherished and humanely rewarded. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You were all about reverence, respect and the ethical principles bounded by the boldness of scruples and a capsule of courage. The community is forever deeply indebted to him for his faithful work and resolute vigilance.
