Paul Baran deserved all the accolades and tributes he received, and more; he has well been called "the father of the internet" His invention of the "packet switch" (work he engaged in for the Rand Corp.) , too long ignored and disbelieved by the civilian minds in the US pentagon, was certainly the key to that and to many of the military's communication problems..
I was a classmate of his in electrical engineering and graduated with him in June 1949 from Drexel; he was brilliant, and humble

Paul, the little i heard about you told me so much. Selfless and enchanting you sound when you made this pronouncement, "The Internet is really the work of a thousand people".Little the world have had of your kind. You inspire we young folks to strive for excellence even when turned down. May your soul rest in perfect peace

I was a young software engineer at StratCom and remember above all Paul's gentleness. Generous with his time, he was a truly humble leader. He was genuinely concerned that employees develop themselves and certainly seemed more concerned about that than his equity. I will always remember him fondly.
