Granville E. Paules III

In 2019, I bought an invention of Granville Paules, III used for Apollo 7. I am a major collector of movable books and paper and this invention is the highlight of my vast collection. It is a volvelle, think slide rule, used to calculate the trajectory of entry to Earth from Space. It thrills me because the volvelle is a 13th century invention used by Paules should the computers go down and the calculation can not be made. A 13th century creation saving the day from the failure of a 20th...

This notice made me very sad. I knew Gran in Sunday School at St. Andrew's in Fort Worth, and I remember how he and John Pieper and a couple of other NROTC guys showed the jocks how to run in UT intramurals. He was always a bright, kind, and genuinely good person. My condolences to his family and friends.

My sincerest condolences to Diane, Skipper and Allison and other family members. Gran was a dear, dear friend. He was a wonderful athlete, serious student, and fun guy to be around. We were roommates in college and were always involved in positive activities at U of T together. I will miss him greatly, and know that the many friends and acquaintances from his church, from NASA, from his neighborhood, and from his University of Texas days join me in expressing our respect, admiration, and...

As a young midshipman at the Crow's Nest at UT Austin in the late 1950s, I looked at Granny as a great role model. His smile, wit, intelligence and presence will be missed by all of us.

I remember Buddy from when I was 11 and friends with his sister Betty Ann. I have many wonderful memories of his whole family.They lived in front of us and our parents were friends. He will surely be missed by many as well as our family. Our deepest sympathy is with Diane and his family. He was such a wonderful man.
Love,Frances and Doug Eldridge

Mr. Paules was a great neighbor, friend, and role model while his son and I were in school and the local scout troop together. He added lots of fun to many of our camping trips and local adventures. He even tolerated our model rocket experiments over the property behind his yard. (Mr. Paules was not the instigator, it was just us kids, wink wink.) Even when we pushed the limits, he always displayed a level of personal values and decency that inspired respect from everyone. He never...

Granville Paules was a major reason why the Urban Mass Transportation Administration was such a special place to work during his tenure. He will always be fondly remembered. My condolences to his family.

My deepest sympathy to the family.

My name is Steven Barsony, I worked with Gran for many years in DOT/FTA (formerly UMTA). I was Dir. of the Office of Engineering and had many conversation about NASA space programs and people. I worked at Boeing and came to Washington to finding out what caused the Apollo 4 accident and was colocated with NASA. WE had many mutual friends in NASA we talked about. I am sorry for his passing. My wife died of cancer and I know the woid...
