Those Dade County streets were rocking and when things get heated, you then need a most humble and competent man of distinction to humanely and most heroically stand up for our freedoms and taciturn times. Class, character and the courage to commit oneself to wearing a badge with pride and honor, forty years later your family my neighbor, friend and hero, Officer Cook, can only think and ponder what if you did not respond to back up your comrades being hurt by gunfire and a berserk man. as troubled as he was, there was still no excuse to take your soul from our midst plunging your loved ones into mourning your loss to our very society that integrates trust, truth and peace into its everyday activities. Rest in peace. The lights stay eternally lit in heaven. The brave and bold have a perfectly humble view of those sacred gates they guard.
