In Memoriam—Ray Eugene Helfer, MD

Abstract
Pediatrics and AJDC have lost, prematurely, a colleague and friend, Ray E. Heifer, MD. Ray's life was one of caring—for his family, his friends, his colleagues, his students, his patients, and the thousands of children, whom he never saw, but who benefited from his professional efforts in the area of child abuse and neglect. Ray was associate editor of AJDC during the early years of my editorship, when he left us to become chief editor of the International Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect. However, he continued to review manuscripts and write several articles and commentaries for us,1,2 the latest of which is published in this issue.3 This article was accepted before his illness and was revised in part by him and in part posthumously by William Weil, MD. The Heifers and the Fulginitis have been close friends for more than 34 years. Ray and I were residents
