To uplift is to raise mankind. A very special soul cherished and widely respected for service that was top notch, first class and professional all the way. Dade County had you for six years, Officer Cook, seventy-two months of humble, humane and loyal care, concern and consideration. Too short a journey, too soon your earthly missions were deemed as finished, you were just beginning your worldly tasks and roles when one single individual decided his problems had to be brought out to Liberty City's streets where you patrolled with your partner that fateful day. He unleashed a string of domestic violence against his girlfriend and you, your comrades and civilization. God has you tender soul, integrity and dignity walking soundly and smoothly now and for eternity. Just why? Why so soon? Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
