Ind. Courts - "Retired Judge William G. Conover, 86, of the Court of Appeals of Indiana died Monday"

From a news release just issued by the Indiana Court of Appeals:

INDIANAPOLIS – Retired Judge William G. Conover of the Court of Appeals of Indiana died Monday, Jan. 9 in his hometown of Valparaiso, IN. He was 86.

Judge Conover was appointed to the Court of Appeals by Gov. Robert Orr and took his seat on Oct. 26, 1981. He retired on Dec. 31, 1993, but served the Court and all Hoosiers as a senior judge for two full years after that.

“Judge Conover was from a generation of people – the greatest generation – that took charge and got things done,” said Court of Appeals Judge John G. Baker, who served with Judge Conover from 1989 through 1993 and later served as Chief Judge of the court. * * *

Judge Conover was active in legal, political and civic affairs. He was a member of the Porter County Bar Association, the Indiana State Bar Association, the Institute for Judicial Administration and the American Judicature Society. His Court of Appeals’ biography is available on the Court’s website.

Arrangements are pending at Moeller Funeral Home, Valparaiso.
