Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

This time of the year is when you'll sniff the taste of turkey and all the fixings. As your family gathers a little prayer praising the Lord for His bounty and for your life and career balanced by morals and unselfish conduct befitting a Dade County public servant. The decades have passed so quickly, Officer Cook, honor and humility, valor and vigilant dignity and integrity have not been forgotten. That scent was most pleasing to the ones whom you served with efficiency, charisma and passion. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

First things first. The public whom you diligently and loyally served, Officer Cook. Dade County is a very wide and spread out community. It took your arsenal of resources, acumen and total honesty to serve, aid and to protect the public at large no small task. Heroism, humanity and humility so sacred, so beloved, admired and revered. Integrity, character, dignity and engagement always first class and top of the line. Composure and courage strike their mantras against the heads of heinous people looking to accentuate more harm than good. But, your goodwill,grace and smile, Officer Cook will forever be paid their just homage. You were quite a hero and a superb gentleman first and most of all. Heaven has a shining star, an angel whose validation spoke wisdom, vision and maturity way above the crowd. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Back in your time, Officer Cook, there was no google, no internet, no face book, you tube, my space and no instagram. Only your radio in your squad car to communicate. If danger, peril and anything else needed resolving and restoring that was your choice of message and no cell phones to dial out. The missions were pretty clear. The journeys patrolling Dade County where you sought to do away with evil and mayhem were filled with stress, duress, unrest and tensions so to speak. Everything regarding your decency, desire and driven motivations was true and crystal clear. Dignity, integrity and heroic honesty beyond any shadow of doubt. You served with brilliance, boldness and bravery backing up your composure, compassion and courage all from your humanely trusted heart of truth not to be overlooked. Treasured and saluted for unwavering and faithfully displaying resolve and character while making a nobly cherished commitment to both pride and excellence. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

In North Miami Beach, Florida there was a helpful young man who lived a life of discipline and dignity and whose devotion was second to none. Yours, Officer Cook, was honorably heroic and fully implemented to conduct all your affairs both humbly, nobly and wisely. A great gentleman whose passions preceded him and with every breath of your being went to great lengths to rescue and preserve the quality of living where your purposes and journeys would have the very same affects upon society. It seems to never completely recover from unadulterated violence which creates a problem that just never seems to go away. Those inclined to committing violence can run and hide but sooner or later the good people who risk their souls will track you down. Dade County has many legends and heroes and heroines, they are angels soaring and not forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Really sad for everyone, your family my neighbor, friend and hero, his own loved ones and your police comrades all dear and nobly esteemed. Rest in peace.
