Orange County Sheriff’s Office saddened by the sudden loss of two members

GOSHEN — The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is saddened to announce the sudden loss of two of their own in the past week: Officer Alecks S. Elia and Lt. Frank A. Maiorino.
Officer Elia dedicated his life to service, having served the country as a Marine in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and served in Afghanistan.
He served the residents of Orange County with dignity for just over 11 years at the Sheriff’s Office and selflessly volunteered at the New Windsor Ambulance.
Officer Elia is survived by his wife Emelie, two daughters Kristine and Nicole and his brother Ernest.
Lt. Frank Maiorino served the residents of Orange County for more than 20 years, working his way up from Correction Officer, to most recently being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.
Among being one of the most avid Yankee fans around, Frank was a well-respected leader among his peers.
Lt. Maiorino is survived by his wife Kristine, daughter Francesca, his mother Valerie, his brother Anthony and wife Alicia and sister Dana and husband Joe.
“As we at the Sheriff’s Office mourn the loss of two of our own," Sheriff Carl DuBois said, "we are thinking of the families of these men and wish them peace and comfort as they face the days ahead with loving memories to forever hold in their hearts.”
