You toiled and sweated, Officer Cook, as a real hero of honor to provide a sustenance for yourself and Karen. Food, clothing and shelter are the basic three essentials and good health. You were the consummate champion of Dade County preserving its integrity, dignity and character. That same value was indeed your heroism where no price was greater than the ultimate you paid on May 16, 1979. A day of horror and outright gall. Just sad and tragic your life of fighting crime and career of morals and ideals was taken so abruptly by one man's insatiable wanton violence against establishment wrecking havoc upon domain and distinction. A humble man working his heart for some semblance of peace and no trouble. Not all is sweet and pleasant. You lead and directed others, Officer Cook, precisely because of your civil manner and calming voice of valor, vision and a wise maturity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
