BATAVIA, N.Y. — The Town of Batavia will honor a Genesee County Sheriff's sergeant who died in the line of duty earlier this year.
Sergeant Thomas Sanfratello collapsed while struggling to remove two unwanted guests from Batavia Downs back in March. He was on a special assignment detail.
During Wednesday night's town board meeting, members voted to dedicate part of Park Road in his honor. It will become known as the Sergeant Tom Sanfratello Memorial Parkway.
Officials said the signs should be up within the next month or so, but an exact date has not been given.
