I don't know if as a child you and Nancy ever went to Greynolds Park in North Miami Beach, Florida on NE 22nd Avenue and Miami Gardens Drive, Officer Cook. We went there for my dad's shomrim picnics when my sister Michele and I were younger. The word shomrim means watchman for retired police officers and firefighters. The scenery could be amazing, the mountain in the back,the woods and the water where one can canoe or ride a paddle boat. Another park in Hollywood is TY Park also amazing.Paddle boats, picnic tables and tennis courts. You played tennis and took some pretty amazing pictures of Mother Nature. Your career and life had more vigor and vitality left to pursue happiness and adventure while fighting crime and mayhem in Dade County. Rock hard determination, sturdy honor, the chemistry of convictions to what it means to have integrity, dignity and respectful character. They define the meaning of what is to honor every resting hero who gives their heart and soul to save, serve and protect their brother and sister officers and the ones, the people whom loyalty and trust mean everything. The vehicles of valor, virtue and truth always had their engines running at full speed. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. No pumpkins, just a pleasing presence capped off with a smile and serious humility enlightening our humanity.

Magnetism is charm. Morals are more important. Fighting injustice and evil is not a beauty contest. The first in line or to finish ahead first wins. It's a perpetual effort poured forth by many heroes and heroines whose humility and sense of fair play distinguish themselves during the tensest of times. For all that you accomplished during your life and public service career, Officer Cook, your family comrades and Dade County could not be happier with your actions all dignified and heroically humane. Integrity and ingenuity striving their utmost to ease the tension, the unrest, the disrespect by one man against police authority and leadership capabilities. Sacred and taciturn, they all have been treasured and solemnly honored for sharing their duties and onuses in rebuilding the infrastructure of mankind so cornerstones can stay cemented as one entity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Kids and adults need that exclamation point of excitement. This cannot be hijacked by heinous actions which demean and debase the value of honesty and happiness which is a cherished vehicle of society. Your loving engagement , Officer Cook, brokered newer relationships in and around Dade County. Too dignified avenue to have your integrity and enhancement broken off like a limb by violence. Heroism and truth released from those bonds of immortal of trust and truth by a diabolically wayward man. Your trails and ferocity were pounded like an anvil and justice was sternly served on the man who took your young life and noble friendliness away. So mature beyond your years. Yearning never grows old. A terrible shame you were not allowed to grow old. To reap what you sowed. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

A promise is more than a handshake and a token of esteem. It is the bonding and binding bravery and humane honesty that accentuates all dignity, character and integrity. Without any measure of these traits even the best and most highly sophisticated of public servants may get lost in a fog of doubt and regret. Fighting and battling such huge adversaries takes more than awareness and acumen. Honesty the most powerful may not be sheltered as it must be on the sleeves viable and visible which you had, Officer Cook, to heroically challenge evil and to attempt to stop this torrential torment of unspeakable ugliness in Dade County where the residents came to trust your judgment and leadership of others through good and not so good. Goodwill,devotion and hope all excellent and now they have been transferred to heaven to assist your proverbial patrol of those golden streets and perfect pavements. No cracks whatsoever. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The rings of humble, humane and heroic honor are: dignity,integrity and character. And for certain without respect and carefulness they all won't have any meaning valid enough to stop violence and terror from any given community.

Dire consequences can arise if one is not duly prepared to deal with the rigors and duress of your important position of authority, trust and truth. Better to surely be real and action minded than to be a false servant just going through the motions. Humility, loyalty and faith are not motions, though they protect much better when applied to vision, acumen and wisdom. All of what has made you, Officer Cook, a decorated and saluted hero of undying and unshakable resolve. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Conclusions should be based upon one's own honesty, integrity and dignity. Not candor, charm and charisma. And yet for a happy man, Officer Cook, your handsome presence in front of the flag with a big old smile sends a certain message. You relished and enjoyed your life, though too short. You personally were able to achieve the one goal and that was to become an excellent public servant serving and protecting the mostly good people of Dade County. Our peace of mind, our joy our freedoms of movement we have to take notice. These were your same values and ideals. If God had allowed you to retire and spend the remainder of your life in dignity and integrity with Karen, than surely no telling what character, respect and humility would have meant to a society now bereft of your candid advice. From the skies above the light of your humanely heroic soul shines down a hint for your family and others to follow in. Some roads are narrow with a little endeavor those trails will widen a bit. Sanity and sanctity have begun their toil. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
