Reflections for Lieutenant Robert Manuel Cabral

Bob was the face of the town of swansea. Everyone knew him and it was a priviledge to have known him all my life. Just a huge lost to the town of swansea.

My thoughts and prayers with you and your family. I lost a dear friend to drinking and driving years ago and it still hurts to hear when others experience the same.

The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fails while daring greatly. So that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I've known Lt. Cabral since I was a young child and the impact that he made on myself and many others in the community of Swansea is indelible. I hope many others that have known him will always remember the hard work and kindness he always bestowed on those around him in the community. You were greatly loved Bobby.

To the family, friends and fellow officers, I extend to you heartfelt and sincere sympathy for the loss of Sgt. Cabral. His loss will undoubtedly leave a hole in many's hearts and souls.

I never had the opportunity to meet you, but without question you must have been a man that undoubtedly helped many and protected even more. I hope that you will be remembered as a hero to all.

This incident is a constant reminder to all of us... uniformed and civilian ... of the perils of drunk driving. Another officer has again been senselessly loss -just as my close friend Bridgeton (MO) Officer Scott Armstrong was killed earlier this year (EOW 1-12-05).
