Before he left his home that fateful day he gave everything he had to his brother. You left your beloved wife, Karen, said goodbye and never unfortunately returned home safely. Evil took your sweet personality and beautiful smile. It robbed your family, friends and colleagues of your precise perseverance, dignity and integrity that imparted some stability and serenity to the residents of Dade County. You had class and character. The man who shot and killed you, Officer Cook, was missing everything. he just deserted the army if for not shooting you and your comrades, they would have dealt with him.

You all have to clean up the messes and try to survive through stress, peril and grief. Your loved ones were left with sorrow and a gaping hole your untimely death left.
