To be recognized as an icon you must be a stable of dignity, humility and the integrity that honors our world by your most humblest of feats.

Partying and drinking in excess is bad. Persevering and patrolling for crime over and beyond the calls of duty is not. You never needed prodding, Officer Cook, as you were that reliable professional always encouraging your fellow sister or brother to greater heights. Since haste makes waste, better to ascribe to the heavens for God's open ended honesty which you possessed in your missions to keep peace and harmony here as a staple.

Back in your day, Officer Cook, there was no social media. No twitter, instagram, my space and facebook blowing up with immense coverage.

My mind, Officer Cook, most times feels like a hot pot of coffee every morning, always percolating. What must not boil over is a public servant's temper which in turn could lead to careless mistakes that can cost lives. Your temper was just right and fitting for the rigors and perils that are associated with good police work. Namely, honesty, defined dignity, intense integrity, legitimate loyalty and the fairness of ferocity and desire doubling down on evil and its tormenting violence. Dade County we should have in mind was under your superior eyes and noted wisdom, the character and class of being years ahead of the crowd. No race to first, just good old fashioned law enforcement done the right and humble way speaking of ethics and idealistic ingenuity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Precision, proficiency and perseverance floated at the top of your charts of courage and conviction. Always fondly saluted and validated as a deliberate servant of rationale means.

Double up those backpacks of boldness, bravery and honesty. They'll come in handy down the line. Around the block in Liberty City over thirty-nine years ago was one of the most heated battles trying to overcome an emotionally challenged man. Depression and diabolical actions took your young life away, Officer Cook. Being depressed happens to a lot of folks and they do not go out and shoot and kill mindful and dignified public servants. Setting your eyes and ears on integrity does take much inner strength and character. You never let up nor backed down. Ingenuity and conviction would not allow your missions to go away. We are here to solemnly remember your humble and devoted service and prideful dedication. It is a never ending battle with adversity an anvil that keeps pounding and banging away. Police too must never take their feet off the pedals of mettle. Timeliness is the issue and positive results are to be humbly accounted for. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The grass may be greener on the other side. Though, honesty and gallantry begin to take form in this world. It can be a really frustrating place to co-exist if heinous activities continue their treks down those trails of torment and terror. Exactly, why we require the steady hands and legs of gifted and pious women and men patrolling these sacred spots where peace and freedom must be stamped. Your words and tone, Officer Cook, set you apart from everyday warriors. Courage and ingenuity along with wise and humble honor help support those chains of dignity and integrity that at times struggle to support one another. No more valued and vigilant man of passion and prosperity who secured Dade County with a cherished uniform and badge of outstanding and blessed boldness. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Fruition is not finality only in the physical sense, eternity always will need your soul of appreciation and awareness to preserve those golden streets where heroism and angels of resiliency ride high everyday.
