Henry E. Payne III, a noted engineer and a founder of the State Journal newspaper, died Friday at his Charleston home after an extended illness. He was 73.
In 1959, Payne founded Payne Engineering in Princeton, N.J. The company pioneered the commercial application of solid-state controls, which monitor heat and speed of industrial machines. Today, the firm has plants in both Scott Depot and Palm Bay, Fla.
Payne was born in Highland Park, Ill., but lived there only briefly before his family moved to Charleston, said his wife, Connie Payne.
He received a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Yale University and a Master of Science degree in aeronautical engineering from Princeton University.
Payne was an avid vintage-race car driver. He often raced at major tracks with his son, Henry IV, a cartoonist with the Detroit News.
"I think as an engineer, [race car driving] was a challenge to him," Connie Payne said. "And also he was just a very talented, athletic man who was an excellent driver."
For years, Payne wrote a monthly column called "Tomorrow's World," which was published in The Charleston Gazette.
"He was always looking ahead, a man way ahead of his time in everything," his wife said.
He read voraciously in both English and German, she said. Read More...
