He served 41 consecutive years on the KSU Tusc Board of Trustees from 1979 to 2020. He died on Christmas day at 84 years old.
Dean Bradley Bielski in a note to the campus community said nothing he could write can express the honor Judge Lile deserves for his dedication and service.
A New Philadelphia graduate, Judge Lile was a Common Pleas court judge from 1980 to 1998.
Calling hours are Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Geib Funeral Center at Dover. A memorial service will be at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in New Philadelphia on Saturday at 11 a.m.
