Magnets attract metal. Mettle and morals pull together a man's composed honesty, dignity and strength of both character and his integrity. Never any doubt waver or hesitation you would turn out to be a great officer, a superior leadership, a quality motivator and most of all an inspiring hero to your family,department and to all Dade County, Officer Cook. Forty-one and a half years ago you laid down your life of achievement to corner a heinous and cowardly man who took your life for no reason other than being troubled and depressed. They are not at all good causes and he nearly killed his wife, a couple of civilians and not to mention your two colleagues who hung on by a thread. God must have needed your sensitively sweet and virtual soul more at that time, Officer Cook, determining your fates and destinies as finished and heroism to be the legacy you family clutches close to their hearts as they try to fulfill your unfinished business. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Just twenty-five and a whole life ahead for you and Karen. Retirement and some stable peace of mind enjoying the fruits of your labors of passion.

The weather lately has been changing. A little bit cooler and windier in the morning a great time for a walk. To energize the old battery. I told you, Officer cook, that every time a see a plane in the skies above I think of you and Karen, your beloved wife travelling to some destination for a well deserved retirement vacation. Such a life and lives are left in the hands of Our Creator who thinks,postulates and plans our days, weeks, months and years. Which have been unfortunately too many to mention since that hot afternoon of May 16,1979 where you sacrificed your life, Officer Cook. Gladeview in Liberty City and Dade County was the venue where your best conduct,humble virtue and heroic honor, dignity and integrity was summoned to a higher plain. Just terribly sad! You had much more to give back to humanity. So many unfulfilled and uncompleted missions of faith, hope and unwavering goodwill all established by a noble man of honest principles.
