VIENNA - Paul James File, 82, entered into eternal rest at 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday October 9, 2019 at the St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown. He was born in Youngstown, Ohio on September 20, 1937 the son of Adam N. and Maizie (Cochran) File and was the oldest of five children. A lifetime resident of Vienna, he attended Vienna schools which later became Mathews Local School District and where he was employed for a year shy of thirty. He held several positions in the school district, none of which though, he enjoyed more than that of a bus driver.
In 1956 he became the owner and operator of his own hometown business, File's Auto Wrecking. Then later, in 1972, he opened, File's Auto Sales. Prior to owning his own businesses, he worked in construction. First for James Construction of Niles and then as a heavy equipment operator in the building of Ohio State Route 11.
Paul proudly served as an Ohio Army National Guardsman from 1960 to 1966 and was a member of the Cortland American Legion Post 540. He was also a member of the Vienna Kiwanis Club of which he served as President and later Lieutenant Governor. He loved the kids and enjoyed people and the interactions in the Vienna community he loved. He also enjoyed attending car shows, riding motorcycles and was a stock car driver in the 1960's.
Paul is survived his wife Wilma (Callihan) File whom he married on December 16, 1961; two sons, Jeffery P. (Brenda) File of Vienna, Gregory S. (Brenda) File of Vienna; four grandchildren, Jessica File, Brittany File, Christopher File, Chelsey File; great granddaughter, Ava Massucci; brother, Bernard File of Howland and sister, Bertha Longstreth of Howland.
