Salvatore J. Embarrato

Trooper Salvatore Embarrato was killed when his patrol car crashed through a guard rail and plunged down an embankment as he turned around to stop a traffic violator.

His patrol car experienced a malfunction, causing it to go out of control and through the guard rail. Although Trooper Embarrato was wearing a seat belt, he was thrown from the vehicle because the seat belt anchors detached from the frame of the car.

Trooper Embarrato had served with the New York State Police for 3 years. He is survived by his parents and two sisters.

Dear Brother...I attended the 8:30 am mass for you this morning...that I had said in your behalf...to mark this 57 Years Remembrance Day.

Please keep close watch over Cookie...as she is currently facing a very difficult time in her life. Her son...your nephew...is also in need of graces...to help him deal with the responsibility...he has been left to take on...in caring for her. I pray that Mom...Dad...and my son too...can also intercede...in their behalf.

I called the W. Nyack Trooper barracks yesterday...to make sure the Troop T Memorial...was still at their location...and not recently moved to the Tarrytown location...which I was told...would happen once the bridge project was completed. The trooper who answered the phone...said it was still at their station...so I guess the Tappan Zee and its barracks...is still a work in progress...but at least...I found out where I could send...the floral arrangement I ordered...in remembrance of this day...and your loss to us...which broke our hearts...and caused us to become...a forever changed family.

You are much loved...still the best of us...and remain so very missed.

God...bless my wonderful big brother...as he rests in Your perpetual light...and eternal peace.

Sal, you are not forgotten...and I carry thoughts of you...in my most treasured memories.

You are in my prayers...always.
