Honesty, diligence and bravery are the harbingers of what good police work is about. You were an obliging young man, Officer Cook, firm and fair when it needed those tones, tough and demanding when any dilemma called for this. Dade County called upon your resources of reserve, resolve and the resolution to extract violence from our community and replace it with sanctity and the resonance of righteous peace and prosperity, hope and caring for all. We so fittingly salute your humility and humane heroism and all that it has stood for all these decades later. A supreme human being making the ultimate sacrifice on humanity's behalf brokering good relationships for everyone. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. These cornerstones have founded on the credentials of courage and the boldness that commitment to pride and excellence embellish.

We have the shirts on our backs thanks to your heroics, Officer Cook. Destiny and pride of the most sacred and humane kind rested beautifully on your uniform and badge of boldness. Your desire and devotion, decency and faith shined like a polished diamond. And it is no surprise that Dade County's own were well served. Leadership and determination carried your trails of tenacity and diligence for twenty-five all too brief years of life. One snuffed out by unmitigated wickedness, heinous and cowardly treatment by a very troubled individual. You can be sure that your class of honor, morals and the very values that dignity and integrity bring to vision and wisdom won't be forgotten. Only saluted humanely and with the stellar humility for which humanity is deeply indebted to you, Officer Cook. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Peace between nations is one thing. Unity and equality in our own neighborhood is another matter. And for that matter you provided tranquility and goodwill for all, Officer Cook. Your bond you lived and worked tirelessly on Dade County and its good people. I would like to believe we have good well intentioned persons living and breathing the same air that sadly was taken from you. A character with honor in their blood, vigilance in their veins and integrity from their heart usually don't fail us. You symbolized what a hero of humility is all about, Officer Cook, undying, unselfish and unwavering commitment to serving and in protecting life and limb. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Salute and remember those gallantry and humility saved the day. Your quick response that day, Officer Cook, saved your partners and countless other lives. Dade County can stop next Wednesday, the thirty-ninth anniversary of your line of duty death, pause and reflect back on your career and life of an angel. Gunfire and evil should not have taken you, Officer Cook, if God had allowed you to gracefully age and grow older we might understand. Not at age twenty-five, a tender young age when growth and its potential had not yet reached its maximum peak. For us, the people living in Dade County and in the vicinity of Liberty City where you sacrificed your dignity, ideals and integrity, we can only say thank you, Officer Cook, a stoic man replete with faith and honor so humble and treasured to behold. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Push posh aside and better yet settle for resolve and honesty. A police officer's daily trips around his or her communities involve loads of decency, integrity and the humble dignity that those important and engaging calls of duty require. Sure a lot of sweat, energy and toil on your part, Officer Cook. Like I've always said you were a man on a mission of peacekeeping and building unity with character for all whom you loyally served. Your comrades in arms those retired today can look back and fondly remember your humane exploits that gained us our survival and security. Serenity built in with righteousness and nobly heroic actions to be etched in our minds and hearts for generations to come. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. At least you had a clue, a notion, Officer Cook, on trying to stop this young man from further harming other public servants and those citizens whose very lives you saved risking your own.

Sturdier and more secure is how we feel since you left us, Officer Cook, because of one angry man's cowardly actions directed at you and your colleagues that tragically profound day of May 16, 1979. Dade County's heart was throbbing all because of your sudden departure from our midst. Terror and its nastiness took a beautiful soul of a man. A gentleman with a smile and a uniform distinguished by its likes of honor, integrity and the dignity to even begin to battle this beast of an enemy. No remorse. No regret. No fear only faithfulness and the fine tuned ferocity to see your life, career and journeys of stardom through until their fruition. We cherish you, Officer Cook, for your family can look up to the stars in the sky and see your very special heroic soul shining down upon them forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The fundamentals of fairness start with the genesis of justice for all. There has to be a common ground for which to launch oneself into a profession so challenging, its demands and rigors can overtake the most resolute of men and women.

You won't be overlooked nor forgotten for your ventures and concern and neither will our world passover your humbleness and humility, it bears out your heroic and persevering nature.

Desserts are for after a meal. Desertion is a cowardly act in which bravery is belittled. Its behavior has no place in our world. What plenty of room to roam is valor, vigilance and the constitution by which to stand up and wage war over wickedness. You did that for six years of loyal and dependable service, Officer Cook, on Dade County's behalf. You made peace, harmony, tranquility and civility all matter. Just as faithfulness, fairness and the firmness define your roles, so too was your class, decency and that word, character, it cannot be hidden as it stays with you in the heavens above where you now rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

You forged newer relationships among all Dade County citizens.

Mysteries are the intrigue for which our lives revolve around. It was in your resolve and good spirits, Officer Cook, that got the jobs and their tasks done smartly and humbly. Dade County was placed on a platform of peace and harmony because of how you lived your life and gave your life for what you believed in. Honesty, integrity and the codes of dignity spoke loud and forcefully and now colleagues and your wonderful family have saluted and taken notice what a superior friend and loyal partner you were to them. The commitment and character of a cherished, treasured and good looking young man of wisdom and conviction whose vitality sealed the prospects of a happy life for our journeys as noble as yours, Officer Cook, to plow on. You should be here to relish and to smile in your family's pursuits nothing keeps them down in particular, your nephew, Justin William Miller who looks like you. I met him about seven years ago at your folk's home and started a conversation with him. I gave that letter to your mom, Mrs. Julia Cook to him. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. If you read these reflections Mrs. Tidwell, Gina or Mr . Hyatt I just wanted to know how your mother and grandmother is. She'll always be in my heart and prayers. Just a devout, faithful and humbly genuine woman, caring and kind just like you her darling and heroic "Billy", Officer Cook.

The proof of a man's life and career are in the pudding. All anyone can say, Officer Cook, is that you were one superbly fine human being. Loved, beloved and worldly respected for your acumen, wisdom, vision and maturity beyond your years. A sweet young man of humble honor, dignity and the integrity to fight for what was right defending our freedoms and peace here in Dade County. Back then violence, racial unrest and terror's torments and tensions led to wide scale evil. On May 16, 1979, as on all other times you rescued your comrades and those civilians because it was your humane and humble bravery and humility from unquestionable morals and the character to act. Everything that could have been done was, unfortunately God had other nobler and sacred plans for your beautiful soul where humanity was best cared for. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. In large part your angelic wings spread out the safety nets of never better fortitude and the courage from your giant heart.
