title: In memoriam: A tribute to the work and lives of Ron Selvester and Rory Childers.
abstract: At the April, 2015 International Society for Computerized Electrocardiology (ISCE) Annual Conference in San Jose, CA, a special session entitled Remembering Ron & Rory was held to pay tribute to the extraordinary work and lives of two experts in electrocardiology. The session was well attended by conference attendees, Childers' family members and friends, and additional colleagues who traveled to San Jose solely to participate in this session. The purpose of the present paper is to document the spirit of this special session as faithfully as possible using the words of the session speakers.
