The Indiana Supreme Court has appointed a judge pro tempore in Noble County following the death of Noble Circuit Court Judge Michael Kramer on March 28.
Senior Judge Kevin Wallace will serve as judge pro tempore beginning on April 14 and until further order of the state’s high court.
Kramer, from Ligonier, died at the age of 70 at Ascension Resurrection Hospital in Chicago, according to WPTA-Channel 21 in Fort Wayne.
Kramer first took office in 1991 after practicing law in Ligonier, according to the Noble County Courts website.
The Noble County Prosecutor’s Office shared on March 31 that it was mourning the loss of Kramer, the longest-serving judge in the county’s history.
U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman honored Kramer on the House floor earlier this month, recognizing him for his committed service in Noble County.
“Noble County was lucky to have lived under the unbiased and truth-seeking gavel of Judge Kramer. He will be sorely missed by his surviving family and the community he loved so much,” Stutzman said.
