ALBION – The Orleans County Courthouse dome is illuminated in blue this evening in honor of Genesee County Sheriff’s Sgt. Thomas Sanfratello, who died in the line of duty at age 54 on March 10, responding to an incident at Batavia Downs.
Sanfratello’s funeral service was Saturday at the Call Arena at Genesee Community College in Batavia. A contingent of law enforcement officers from Orleans County attended the service.
The dome will be lighted in blue for a week, beginning on March 14.
“We send our deepest condolences to his family and to all his fellow law enforcement officials, especially those in the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, who are devastated by the loss of their colleague,” said Lynne Johnson, Chairman of the Orleans County Legislature.
The flag at the courthouse lawn is also lowered in honor of Sanfratello.
