Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Your parents, Officer Cook, raised you and your big sister, Nancy to be honorable, dignified and have integrity in your hearts and souls. Such a grand man, heroic and full of unselfish and unwavering character, conviction and commitment so loyal and faithful. Dade County has its peace because of crusaders willing to step up to the plates of vigilance, diligence and respect which you humbly earned and were blessed with. Safety, security and serenity sometimes extract a very tragic yet a noble sacrifice that you made yet you had many more decades of vitality and life ahead with your beloved wife, Karen. To think about being married for fifty productive and blissful years together and to have that robbed by a heinous man of no reverence, remorse or a clue of his actions senseless and callous that took away a wonderfully truthful and trustworthy public servant a professional of total class, decency, desire and angelic dedication making their patrols around your beloved community where your legacy grows. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
