Richard Irwin Caesar M.D.

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.
