Though, your family and peers of the past have all paid homage to your sacrifice that brought peace and safety to Dade County and its people. You won't be forgotten for instrumental integrity,dignity and intelligence to see your missions through until Our Lord took you home all so suddenly. Your mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, may she and your dad, Charles all rest in peace along with you my neighbor, friend and hero. Never a day that goes by without any reflection seeing that efficiency going far beyond the scopes of unselfish and tireless heart and character.
