Paul E. Niles, 85, of New Castle passed away Saturday, September 26, 2020 at Spring Mill Meadows in Indianapolis. He was born July 31, 1935 in New Castle, a son of the late Charles S. and Ida S. (Greer) Niles.
A 1952 graduate of New Castle High School, he retired from Chrysler Corporation after 35 years of service, where he served an apprenticeship in machine repair and was Maintenance Supervisor for over 25 of those years.

A longtime member of St. Anne Catholic Church in New Castle, he was also an honorary life member of the Knights of Columbus, 3rd and 4th degree. He always tried to be charitable and lively, and lived by the motto, “to whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).”
