The fortitude and ferocity must stay in motion to douse those fires of furious terror. Ineptness will never carry a positive aspect of public service. Your performance to save the civilians and your colleagues that day, Officer Cook,was all heart and heroic effort to battle the likes of a man go awry. More than that his kind of no character only made the scene and its circumstances that much tougher for you and by your skillful actions at the very least prevented a much worse dilemma. He got his punishment as your friend and comrade Detective Blocker finally put an end to his tragic actions by killing him. Liberty City and Dade County shall never forget your bridging everything so dear to your heart and those around you, family, friends and comrades alike. Our Lord holds you,Officer Cook close to Him forever. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Repulsive is not resolve and surely not honor. Its caliber of disrespect discourages anything normal from occurring making peace which is essential to the life of a community more of a detriment to a healthier mankind. Respect and goodwill must flow evenly for security,unity and liberty to follow close behind. Of course, Officer Cook, you engaged us and embraced a career and passions you had since you were a younger man. Dade County will forever be blessed and protected by your wonderful set of morals,scruples and values all pinpoint accurate. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Apathy is a word that shall not creep or seep into any public servant's badge and uniform of honor and integrity. It degrades dignity and character so much that all respect can be lost. That loss can challenge and cripple any community that looks up to its heroes and heroines of esteem. Dade County and its people looked up to you, Officer Cook, a man who genuinely cared about us and whose sanctity and civility was torn apart that day of May 16, 1979 by one angry and rotten human being. No character, no honesty and not one good thing though I believe he had a child. You'll be saluted and so duly honored for diligence and faith. Rest in peace my neighbor,friend and hero.

Tenacity lies in those trenches where courage looks to corner callousness. Mr. Pearsall the evil man who took you from your family and department was a very abrasive fellow, Officer Cook, showing no remorse and obviously no honorable respect towards authority. His actions nearly took other officers, your friends, colleagues and the civilians embroiled in his domestic issues. It took your good natured will so ironclad to attempt to stop him and yet the hero in your heart and soul steered some tranquility into Dade County's various neighborhoods. We keep thinking and dreaming for a light to go on at the end of the tunnel signalling hope. Your special soul of virtue and vision can watch over us as we pray for sanity and civility, the calming affect that carries us forward in our earthly pursuits of happiness and joy.
