Years of hard fought tears and toil. Sweat falling off your brow of bravery and boldness, Officer Cook, to see an end to violence and torment in Dade County. The many hours of supreme sacrifice, serenely heroic honesty, devoted dignity and intensely loyal integrity waged in an unselfish, unrelenting and mostly unwavering effort to stop a wayward man. His youth and your youth intertwined going opposite directions. You and your fellow comrades tried your utmost to end his aversion to evil. You did everything right and by the book. God took over and sadly took your beautiful soul and wise heart back to heaven to reunite with your father, Charles, may he rest in peace with your wonderfully faithful mother, Julia, may she rest in peace. What kept your mother alive until the ripe humble age of 103 years were her years working at Sabal Palm Elementary here in North Miami Beach, Florida. Sadly, I unfortunately experienced far too many unpleasant experiences, bullying and harassment there. Yours, Officer Cook, were most pleasant and engaging. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Like mother ducks who lead their gaggle of ducklings, respect and honest humility lead their faithful flock of devoted public servants through misery and mayhem. Dade County has many bodies of water and where upon close examination one may find plenty of ducks leading their young. A veteran officer, Officer Cook, you were chosen to lead and to direct other men and women of experience and patience through thick and thin. Danger and obstacles placed in your path cannot detour a persevering young man so loyal and dignified with an earned integrity humbly joined at your side. The fights, battles and wars tragically continue but with you overlooking their battles those tough times may soon lessen. We hope and pray your heroic soul observes and with Our Master's mercy and compassion intervenes. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Liberty and freedom came from your most heroic heart, Officer Cook, a truly legendary man with a wide smile. But, firm and fair, truthful and resourcefully trustworthy. With gallant resolve and energetic resiliency it's plain to witness why you were able to direct others, motivate them to a higher standard of conduct and to redirect your supremely humane dedication where it surely was to be.
