To look back and think that first saturday was going to be your first weekend day off. A sad day to ponder that your wife, mother and sister had to bury your beautiful heart and soul for its honor, integrity and respect of dignity you afforded all Dade County folks. Those bells and bagpipes all ringing and wailing over your terrible loss to mankind, Officer Cook, a day no one will forget ever what Badge#1664 accomplished in a relatively short twenty-five years of creation and ingenuity. Inventive and persuasive at times can head off sure trouble. Yet, that day at NW 12th avenue and NW 77th court no one knew what one violent man had up his sleeves of serious vindictiveness against police officers. Large words for a man larger than life who smiled, laughed and made you feel at ease. You were all that, Officer Cook, a mountain of a legend symbolic and resolute to succeed at bringing more than a token of tranquility into your community that today respects and has saluted your diligence.
