Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Smarts and education doesn't guarantee a thing. Unfortunately, Officer Cook, we knew someone who worked in North Miami Beach, Florida who was killed by his son in a domestic incident that past Saturday. Do not know why. Still wonder why your life and promising police career came to a screeching halt on May 16, 1979. God needed your acumen, honesty, reflections of resolve, bravery and integrity nestled with other heroes and heroines who gave their lives so unity and tranquility would not just be another word. You saved lives and broke up kayos and terror all by your compassionate and humbly stoic character and commitment to both ingenuity and the pride you wore on your uniform. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. The son by the way was a doctor. You were a great man, a gallant and treasured gentleman and the quintessential public servant.
