Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

What you created nearly fifty years ago, Officer Cook, has stood today as that branch of your fairness, firmness and undying boldness. Dade County and its streets were warmly and richly preserved by your honored and heroic passions of faith, resourcefulness and the thoughtfulness of a most respected servant. A gentleman still young at heart who captivated his family, colleagues and friends with a humble smile and yet you were all serious when adversity arose and threatened to erode humanity's hopes, dreams and vital aspirations. Your grit and fortitude were all determination and desire combined with steadfast dedication to all the perilous responsibilities that lied ahead of your sacred oaths in life and during your six year career cut short because of one evil man and his turbulent life of no heart, soul and decency toward authority. A class man of character, trusted commitment and true conviction who is forevermore saluted for his valor and vehicles of virtue. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
