He was pre-deceased by father Jose Cabral, mother Emilia Cabral, three children Orlando, Fatima and Annabella as well as numerous brothers and sisters.

Dad loved nothing more than spending time with family and working in his garden. He was an active member of our church parish and always made sure that every Sunday mass had fresh flowers. Even up until the end, dads greatest joy was seeing his entire family together and he has left us knowing that the last lesson he taught us was that home is not about walls but the family who are together.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday October 20th, 2017 at St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church in Ear Falls, ON at 1 pm with Father Mike Mahoney and Father Justin Eze officiating. A private interment will follow at the Ear Falls Cemetery.

Donations in his memory may be made to Memory in Miles through the Red Lake Chapel,P.O Box 237, Red Lake, ON P0V 2M0.
