Mr. Chniimi,n, Ladies ard Gentlemen:
This is the time appoidt , , for us to lay aside our deliberations, to pause in the perform-
ance of our duties. no that vi mdv pay a just tribute to the career and to the memory of a public
servant no recently and prematitely taken from us.
Stanton Grant Pondero, Cirrnit Juif:e. departed this life on Sunday, June 27. 1965; his
demise at the age of forty-nine was both unc.v.L.rted and shocking.
He was horn in Royal Oak, the soi, o' Ccorge A. Oondero and Adele Roegner Ponder°, both of
whom survive. Educarid in the schools of R,a.1 Oak, he attended the University of Kentucky and the
University of Michigan Law School securing his law degree in 1940,
Following his admission to the pt:,itice of law, Judge Pondero entered into a course of
training fim- his ultimate elevation to tlk• by serving as court clerk for the late Judge Ceerge
P. Marfrick- After a year of judicial indoctrination. the young lawyer opened his own office in
Royal0 h for tb n-gal practice of l0w. shortlY thereatit..(_,r becoming City Attorney for Hazel Park.
- Tie lysm which befell the world in the 1940's swept Judge Dondero into the military
service, hi. ' n to his patriotic diity leading him to- enlist in the United States Navy in 1943.
Following enli tisent, he qualified for a commission by virtue of a cram course at Harvard In
and was then .e H.-id to combat duty in the Pacific Ocean as a communications officer on the staff of
the miral ,orm:ikling. spending a substantial part of his tour of duty on the cruiser Montpelier.
!i ,H1 ,cd item the Navy in 1946, having hold a commission as a lieutenant, and was active in
nntil his death, holding a commission as lieutenant commander.
Tho yonn2 lawyer then no to his private practice in Royal Oak and quickly became -an
influence for good in the affairs of his community, all in keeping with Ms family tTadition. He
was a 'a 'he of Pella Theta Phi law fraternity, the Royal Oak Methodist Church, Red Run Golf Club,
the Oak Lodge of tho Elks, Pontiac Rotary' Club and Torch Lake Yacht and Country - Club.
At the tinie of his depai'ture, Judge [tender° was completing his first six-year term as a
Circuit judgc. His judicial driir.,i)or, his courteous devotion to the problems of litigants, and
P is genuine friendship for all (ocple won him the endearing admiration of he bar and Laymen.
While still in the Naval service, he was married to Irma Crabb of Huntington Woods, and
their union was blessed with three children, gargaret, James and Mary. He is survived by his wife
and children. his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Dondero, by his brother Robert and his sister,
Mrs. Marion Wilson.
Judge Oondere maintained an abiding interest in the history of his coulmunity and his
nation. actively sharing such interest with his father and friends, and through membership in the
Royal Oak Historical Society and the Civil War Roundtable.
Cut off from this life at the very threskhold of even greater accomplishment, Judge
Pondoro 1CaVOS a void in the community, hut ho also leaves a career which may well serve as a goal
for all who aspire to distinction and honor.
Mr. Chairman, I move the foregoing memorial he spread upon the minutes of the Board of
Supervisors and that the County Clcrk he instructed to forward a certified copy thereof to Judge
Pondero's surviving wife and parents.
