Ferocity and tenacity sometimes require that humble detour of flexibility. That does not mean run off and vacate your posts of passion and preservation. Honesty, character,morals, dignity and integrity dictate much more than that. The battles rage on like forest fires. Men and women such as yourself, Officer Cook, knew your boundaries and went to mount an attack to cutoff callousness. Desire and decency lend credence to humanity and to their humblest of heroes. Believe me respect and valor were in your humanely heroic hands, Officer Cook, fighting adversity until your last ounce of strength and very last breath drawn. God's kingdom is aglow with warm and happy faces of His heroines and heroes gallant and unrelenting right down to the end. A life cut too short at the tender age of twenty-five by one man evil and sadistic. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Reputations are the humble beginnings of a hero's childhood and environment. Living and growing up in North Miami Beach, Fl, Officer Cook, times were sure different then as they are sadly now. You attended some of the same schools as I did and never experienced any of the hassles and troubles that I went through. Too bad I was not your age back then maybe a companion and a good friend like yourself would have mattered. Though, I'm blessed with a lovely wife, Holly and two handsome sons, Matthew and Joshua who are independent. Matt lives and works out in San Francisco and Josh attends college in New York though we would have preferred that he stayed here in Florida. Your family came to sunny South Florida sixty-five years ago and through progressions you wanted to become a police officer. a very noble, challenging and at times a perilous profession filled with awesome responsibility. And thank God authority and power never crept into your brains of maturity. Honesty, humility, dignity and integrity vitalized your wholesome missions on behalf of Dade County and mankind forever. You have been and are humbly remembered for heroically risking your soul to save your esteemed colleagues and the residents whom you took an affirmation to protect and to serve. The clouds up in heaven are enlightened by your mortal soul, Officer Cook, which hovers high overhead your family, peers and friends. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. A beautiful smile aglow that is sorely missed very much today.
