Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Never a worry. Never a broken word or bond. Always your straight up assurances that Dade County would be fixed up and properly served by a loving man and a hero of humility honored by his work habits. You gave so much, Officer Cook, for the welfare of those citizens who relied upon your basic instincts to survive and to achieve a purpose, a passion to complete a mission of resolve, hope, goodwill and faith. Today,things are not the same and will never be since you left your family and colleagues over forty-one years ago taken by evil and having your valor uprooted from those branches of boldness and guidance. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Character and commitment are transparency's words of trust and truth if justice is to be served.
