A pleasant smile greeted you and some serious honesty,integrity and dignity greeted violence which still perturbs and disturbs the patterns of serenity and safety we are all accustomed to living. To live freely and to be healthy are two staples by which your enriched, enhanced and engaged those whom you met everyday. Never a moment of forgetting your wealth of experience now as an angel in heaven it greets those who have just the thin blue line of valiant angels. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Grace and humbleness have earned rewards and Our Creator's blessings for your supreme sacrifice and for all around excellence in performing a perilous task.

Try it you might like it. Police work is not an experiment as one must give every ounce of heart,honor and character to make things work and have that wheel well oiled and moving forward. By God's design, grace and goodwill. your fortitude, Officer Cook, gave you the humble opportunity to make peace and stability like a brother and sister getting to know one another quite well and because of your heroism and resolve, Dade County and its residents can lead and continue to live healthier and happier. Their missions were your earthliest of journeys and all because of one heinous man that all came to an abrupt ending on May 16,1979 when a legacy tall and humble began. Again and again just pathetically sad, terrible and tragic for your beloved family, comrades of respect and loyalty and your close personal friends so many who paid their respects to you at your Inspector's funeral. A decent man striving for care and sincerity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
