The glow of a warm heart combined with a genuine soul of humility, honesty and character that you had your entire life, Officer Cook and tragically cut way too short because of violence perpetrated by an ugly and despicable individual. Your family was your reason for living, for loving, for laughing and for rejoicing. You are not here to do any of that because at the tender age of twenty-five Dade County received your heroic actions on May 16, 1979 that saved your fellow officers and the residents of your community caught in gunfire. When dignity, virtue and integrity get interrupted and cutoff from their sacred trails, paths and directions it's then a sad realization in the peace process. Though you are never forgotten and always saluted for gallantry, kindness and sincerity may God protect you the bearer of badge#1664. It was reverence, diligence and the wise inspirations of vigilance surrounding you my neighbor, friend and hero. Rest in peace Officer Cook along with your beloved and devoted parents of faith, goodwill and thoughtful resourcefulness.
