Richard Irwin Caesar M.D.

Rick was in some of my classes at Beverly Hills High School. He was the school´s star basketball player and I grew up watching his dad on TV. As I was only interested in the Beatles and not basketball, we never interacted much for which I am now regretting. The picture that emerges from all the tributes tells me I missed the opportunity to know a very special human being. RIP Rick. Sybil Sever

Continuing to remember you at times when invoking your spirit, who you were to you friends and patients and the kindness you showed to others.

I knew him when he was at Good Samaritan and he exuded a gentle kindness, A good and decent man was lost to the world too soon.

Rick played a critical role in my finally getting sober years ago-he was my monitor/ counselor when I was at SL years ago and during my journey afterwards. He was a trusted advisor and friend-never judging. He has helped so many I am very sad to hear that he has passed

Sounds like a lovely - and very intelligent - man. Rest in peace, Richard.

This is such a sad shock for me- I worked at UC Davis as an RN & that´s where I met Rick. He was a young, tall & very polite Resident. All the Nurses liked him-a lot. He was very competent & kind to his patients. We ALL wanted to throw moves on him, just didn´t know how. Just checking on old friends & acquaintances & saw this. So sad. Losing him was a tremendous loss - to a lot of people & patients & to medicine. My deepest condolences to Rick´s family.

Sounds like he was a very nice person. I found this obituary after watching interviews of his dad, Sid Caesar. One of the greatest comics of all time. I followed his life story and just wondered what happened to his kids. I live in Eugene and would have loved to have met this great family. Sounds like Richard's life was too short but very well spent. My condolences to the family.

I was Ricky's camp counsellor in 1962 and 1963. I remember him well as a delightful, polite and fun-loving boy. I'm deeply saddened to learn he died so early.

Rick was a year behind me at GNN and we didn't know each other. I knew him only as a gawky 8th grader and son of a famous person. Looked him up after seeing his father referenced in an obituary. I just want to say I'm very glad he became an accomplished basketball player and had a wonderful life, albeit too short. I which I knew him.
