I am not seeing where he played a role in ARPAnet.

  It is probably not accurate to say that he was the creator of ARPAnet, but the methodologies his team came up with for ALOHAnet played a huge role in the development of ARPAnet.

    afaik ARPA was before ALOHA.

      He says in the Computer History Museum talk that (paraphrasing) ALOHANet was eventually connected to ARPANet, making in effect the first connection of the Internet.

  I think I see what happened, order of precedence ambiguity: > Norman Abramson, creator of (ARPAnet and Ethernet precursor) ALOHAnet, dies at 88 could have also been written: > Norman Abramson, creator of ARPAnet-and-Ethernet-precursor ALOHAnet, dies at 88
