Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Your virtual feats of versatility, vision and valor all validated the vigilance you demonstrated, Officer Cook, to serve Dade County. With a hero's gentle stroke of honesty, some dignity and integrity within your badge and uniform tranquility was the notable rule rather than turmoil and torment. In six years of loyal and professional service to society you gave all heart and vision to unravel what has seemed to continue bothering mankind. But, a little grace and goodwill always accentuated your fine and uplifting character and outstanding commitment now and forever walking a proverbial beat in the houses of Our Lord. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
