Richard Arthur Greene, M.D.
1936 – 2021
Dr. Richard Greene loved his life and lived it to the fullest, with his characteristic positive attitude, enthusiasm, and energy. Beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, and Palo Alto pediatrician, Richard passed away at home in Larkspur, California on May 21, 2021, surrounded by his family, after a valiant fight against T-cell lymphoma.
Richard practiced pediatrics and pediatric cardiology at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation for forty-eight years, retiring in 2015, determined to be the longest serving physician to date. He was convinced he had the best job, with the greatest colleagues, and most wonderful patients in the world – a conviction he readily shared with all who knew him. Upon his retirement, the pediatric department presented Richard with a plaque that read, “The heart of our department for 48 years!” In addition to his dedication to his patients and their parents, Richard served as the chair of the Department of Pediatrics for eight years during PAMF’s move to its new campus in Palo Alto in 1999, where the pediatric playground was dedicated in his honor. He also served as the first medical director of PAMF’s Urgent Care Center from 1985-1992 and on the PAMF Community Board of Trustees. However, first and foremost, Dr. Greene loved taking care of multiple generations of children, having more than 500 patients whose parents he also took care of as infants. Toward the end of his career, he focused exclusively on his sub-specialty of pediatric cardiology at three PAMF locations.
Richard believed his professional life was enriched by his career-long affiliation with Stanford University and its Children’s Hospital, where he served as a Clinical Professor, the first President of the Medical Staff for Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and a member of the Board of Directors. Richard also greatly valued his emeritus association until the end of his practice with the Stanford Pediatric Cardiology Department.
Richard was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he attended Newman School, Tulane University, and LSU Medical School. Upon graduation, he completed a general internship in San Francisco at the Southern Pacific General Hospital, before serving two years in the U.S. Air Force as a flight medical officer. Richard then returned to Palo Alto and completed his pediatric residency at Stanford, as well as a two-year fellowship in pediatric cardiology.
In addition to his busy professional life, Richard was a loyal and fun-loving friend, still maintaining best friends from New Orleans and Camp Horseshoe, a Wisconsin north woods boy’s camp, where he was a camper, counselor, and camp doctor for decades. His Horseshoe friends remain full of stories of Richard’s commitment to the camp, as well as his notorious antics. Always outgoing and upbeat, Richard cherished his friendships that spanned decades, as well as the new ones he made every day of his life.
Richard loved sports and was an eager, competitive participant throughout his life. Skiing late into his seventies, he was carving turns and conquering moguls, despite his numerous back surgeries. He was an ardent fan of Stanford football and Bay Area professional teams. A highlight of Richard’s career was a relationship with the San Francisco 49ers during their glory years and the opportunity to take care of many of the players’ children. While he was practicing, he provided free physicals for local high school athletes and volunteered as a team doctor for school teams. For the past several years, Richard has been delighted to be able to cheer on his own grandchildren’s sports.
Richard leaves behind his wife Lynda, their three children Bradley Greene, M.D. (wife Susan), Shelley Siechen (husband Mark), and Amy Thacher (husband Tom), and his grandchildren Mary Watson, Brock Siechen, Brady Siechen, Andrew Greene, Holly Thacher, Zane Siechen, and Kevin Thacher. He is also survived by his sister Terry Luria (husband Bob), as well as nephews, nieces, and cousins.
A small, private family celebration of life will take place during the summer, mindful of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the fact that many children can still not be vaccinated. In recognition that Richard has numerous friends, colleagues, and grateful patients who would like to honor and acknowledge his life, the family has established a memorial website and invites anyone who is interested to share their memories and hopefully humorous anecdotes below.
In 2014, Richard and Lynda established the Dr. Richard A. Greene Pediatric Cardiology Fund in gratitude for the career Richard loved and to invest in the future health and well being of children. Donations may be made to the Fund to honor Richard. More information and donation instructions can be found below.

Memories of Richard
Memories of Richard
Shared by family and friends
From Ross DeHovitz MD (Pediatrics, Palo Alto)
Richard began his career at the Palo Alto Clinic in 1967 joining the Pediatric department as the first Pediatric specialist following completion of a year of Pediatric Cardiology training at Stanford. He joined just before our department founder, Esther Clark, retired after 45 years. In addition to Pediatrics and Pediatric Cardiology, he became the first chair of the Urgent Care department that had just been set up in a nearby building adjacent to the Palo Alto Campus. He maintained his affiliations with Stanford and in the 1990s he was the first Medical Staff President for Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital overseeing the move to the new hospital. In 1996 he became chair of the PAMF Department of Pediatrics and oversaw its growth from nine Pediatricians to sixteen Pediatricians over the next seven years.
In 1999, he managed our move to 795 El Camino from the Homer campus and single handedly raised money and created the Richard Greene Pediatric Playground just outside the department. His philanthropic initiatives would not stop with the playground.
He loved performing procedures whether it was repairing lacerations, removing foreign bodies, or evacuating hematomas. He taught generations of colleagues and residents the art of circumcision and was always available for those babies who needed one in the office after leaving the hospital. He hosted many residents for their continuity clinics. Teaching was another one of his many passions.
But mostly, Richard was a force of nature. His positive mental attitude and glass half full outlook made any day rosy if he was in the office. He was so personally generous -- to his colleagues and to his patients even if it meant getting behind. Yet, he always was willing to see the extra patient, switch call nights or to listen to a murmur. He always believed that he was part of the Best Pediatric Department in the Best Clinic in the world. He shared that belief with his patients, his colleagues, and the many new recruits that he brought into our office. In 2015, he retired from Pediatric Cardiology practice and helped recruit three new Pediatric Cardiologists to replace him. The Richard A. Greene Pediatric Cardiology fund has been set up by him and his family to keep this specialty endowed with the funds required for equipment and staffing needs for the future.
Richard had a 48-year spectacular career that built upon the monumental legacy of Esther Clark. Their two careers span the entire existence of our department in Palo Alto. We will miss Richard terribly, but his generous spirit will forever be etched into our staff, our colleagues, and the bones of our clinic.

The biggest stroke of luck in the life of our family was buying the house next door to Richard and Lynda Greene in 1997. To say it was life altering would be an understatement. Richard's guidance, friendship, humor, counsel, love and devotion to both of our children and to Michael and I over the past 24 years has been one of the greatest gifts of our lives. The hole in our hearts will never be filled.
Posted by Rebecca Peterson; NICU nurse
Always enjoyed Dr. Greene’s humor, compassion and enthusiasm for medicine and care of his patients.
Posted by William W. Rosen, a friend since before high school.
Always fun, always thoughtful, always interesting. And he came a long way since shooting out street lights with a BB gun in New Orleans.
Posted by Derek Obayashi, MD (Pediatric Cardiology)
Dr. Richard Greene established and pioneered pediatric cardiology at PAMF and embodied it for over four decades until his retirement in 2015. Prior to retiring, he worked tirelessly to ensure the Department not only continued without him, but grew and thrived. He hired Dr. Juliana Gomez-Arostegui, who first brought pediatric echocardiography to PAMF in 2014, and then Dr. Derek Obayashi in 2015. Dr. Renee Rodriguez was hired soon thereafter. He and his wife, Lynda, strongly supported philanthropic efforts to purchase pediatric and fetal echocardiogram machines, including personally funding a new pediatric cardiology fund. He helped with the retention of critically important and talented operational support staff from being poached by nearby children’s hospitals. As a result, over 50 children have been prenatally diagnosed to date with simple and complex congenital heart disease requiring postnatal surgery. These new lives are cared for by PAMF pediatric cardiologists.
On a personal note, Richard was an inspiring guiding light, filled with an unlimited enthusiasm to care for children with congenital heart disease. His love for the craft of pediatric cardiology and his dynamic energy to care for kids and their families was infectious. His positive force fueled a renaissance in the Department that has affected countless lives in tremendous ways.
Richard made everyone he encountered feel important and loved. He left an enormous footprint at PAMF with a long-lasting legacy. He will be dearly missed.
From Tara, friend of Amy and family
Richard was a truly magnificent person. We are all so lucky to have had him in our lives. And he and your mom had a truly loving exemplary relationship - a true gift for a lifetime!
From Allison, friend of Amy and family
Sending love. We all love him so much! What a wonderful man. Please give your mom lots of hugs for me and I’m thinking of you. I need to find the Bay to Breakers T-shirt he gave me in a moment of sheer Richard-style enthusiasm!!
From a former colleague
He truly was a mentor to us all. He frequently mentioned how much he loved his job and how working with kids was such a privilege. His energy level and love of pediatrics was inspiration. He believed in us even when we were just starting out and knew almost nothing. I still sometimes tell patients some of the pearls he taught me and still laugh at thinking of his telling patients he did the best circumcision “West of the Rockies”. He was a real gem and will be missed, but not forgotten.
From a former colleague
I remember how he would absolutely praise ALL of us PAMF pediatricians whenever he saw our referrals, like we were the absolute best in the world. He sincerely loved PAMF and working here for so long, and always made me remember that this is a great place to be a part of. For those who have been here long enough, he taught many of us how to do our very first circumcisions when we were hired—and I too laugh to myself thinking about the memories.

Oh how we loved Rich Greene as our pediatrician. We met him in 1969 and became fast friends.
We will always be warmed by thoughts of his hugs and greetings, good and thoughtful comments and advice, and enduring friendship through the years. We're thinking of you, Linda. With love, Carol and David Schwartz
Posted by Amy Heneghan; colleague and grateful patient
I feel so blessed to have known Richard. Richard was luminary, a shining light of optimism and caring. He was my kids doctor before I joined our pediatric group. I always felt he was a champion of our department and of each and every one of us alike. He made you feel so special. Always!! What a gem. I will miss his optimism, compassion, and humor. Love you Richard!
Posted by John Dermon (Camp Horseshoe)
I first met Dr. Greene in 1957 at Camp Horseshoe, in Minong Wisconsin. As the camp doctor he patched me up after I ran into a tree stump playing Message To Garcia. He pretty much lived up to his reputation as a "wild and crazy guy".
Posted by Eric Wright 49ers & Erika, Aven Wright
Dr. Greene took great care of our kids and taught us how to become great fathers. The kindness and care love with our kids. Family was always 1st! Dr. G we love You RIP!
Posted by Mary Ann Carmack; colleague and friend
Through example, Richard lifted us all to a higher standard of how to work (joyfully), how to live (exuberantly), and how to treat others (kindly). In nearly 20 years of working side by side in the same hallway at the clinic, Richard never once said “I’m too busy” when I asked for help or advice. I’m certain he never said it to anyone else, either. He loved to remind us of the importance of collegiality, and he led by example, day in and day out. What a privilege it was to be his partner and friend!
Posted by Erika Wright-McAfee, patient
Dr. Greene was my pediatrician. I will always remember how personable, funny, and comfortable he made Drs. visits as kid. Thank you Dr. Greene! I pray that your family and friends are comforted by the many wonderful memories that they had with you!
Posted by Michael Gaynon; Ophthalmologist who worked with Richard
I am a retinal specialist, and was a partner of Richard's at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. I was the person who did retinal examinations on premature infants at Stanford, and Richard was always very supportive of my work. I always considered him to be a mentor, which I very much appreciated.
Posted by Jennifer and Joe Montana; Dr. Greene was our four children's pediatrician
I thought of Dr Greene often over the years, and vividly just two days ago. I wondered what advice he would give me with a certain dilemma I face with one of my newborn granddaughters. Dr Greene was an exceptional pediatrician. All four of our children were so lucky to be in his care. As a pediatrician, he made a parent feel confident in their caring. He was a blessing for all of us. My prayers to your family in this difficult time.
Posted by Eric Davis; patient (children), friend, family
Deepest condolences and prayers for the entire family. Doc Green treated our children with love and care as if they were his own. He was always a phone call away, and would be there in a time of need at a moment’s notice. He will be missed, but know that the memory of him and love for him will always be a part of us.
Posted by Ray and Ashley Brown: parents of two patients
He cared for our children Miriam and Trey during our time with the Niners and after we left. He treated everyone special. He was also correct in saying Trey would be 6’3”, so off to Duke for football for him. The Brown family extends to the Greene family our deepest condolences during this time. Thank you Richard Greene for your care for my children. God Bless.
Posted by Robin Drucker, colleague at PAMF
Richard hired me straight out of my residency at Packard, and he promised me that this job would change my life. Boy, was he ever right, and honestly PAMF has become my family away from home because of the culture Richard created and the mentorship and love he gave to us all. It was a privilege and honor to call him my colleague and friend, and I will forever be grateful for everything he taught and shared with me!
Posted by Andrea, mom of his patient
Dr. Greene was the best. I met him in the baby nursery as he was doing his rounds. I had just had my son, and didn't yet have a pediatrician. I recognized him as one of my customers. He agreed right then and there to take my son on as his patient. Through the years he was the most calming influence. The way he spoke to a new parent, his anti-anxiety messaging. I will never forget when he said to me very early on "you are going to have so much fun with your son". I was able to relax and enjoy those early years more because of Dr. Greene. Linda, as I hope you know, you and Dr. Greene were two of my favorite customers. I will always think of you both enjoying your life in a positive and lively fashion. Dr. Greene (he always told me to call him Richard) was just the best.
Posted by a former colleague
Like many of the PAMF pediatricians, I was hired by Richard. Throughout the many years we worked together his contagious smile and love of Pediatrics inspired me. He was always able to find a bright side to a situation and reminded us all that we had so many things to be grateful for. He also kept his sense of “fun” throughout his life. He truly made the world a better place for all who knew him, and I am sure there is a large ripple effect
Posted by Cara Barone, PAMF pediatrician colleague
Richard truly embodied the JOY of Pediatrics in every way. He was a very special mentor and caretaker to all of us younger pediatricians in the group--bolstering our confidence as clinicians and carmakers of children and their families. He always reminded us what a special pediatric group we were which shaped our precious work family culture to this day. I will always be thankful to Richard for bringing me to PAMF, nestling me in our group and for promisingly sharing his joy of pediatrics. I learned so much from him and will always hold him in my heart as a dear teacher and friend. I am thinking so much of Lynda, his children and grandchildren and hoping you find comfort in remembering how much he was loved by so many.
Posted by Tracy D McMahan, colleague
Message: Dr Greene was a legend. His knowledge of pediatric cardiology was outstanding. He taught many of us so much. But what stood out more was his zest for life and his love for his family and his patients. He wore a photo of his family on the back of his ID and would tell everyone, "I am the luckiest man alive!" and beam when he spoke of them. He was silly and would dress up as Spider Man on Halloween to make kids smile. He was so athletic and exuded energy. When I moved my practice from PAMF to SF-Marin, and he had retired and lived in Larkspur, we met for coffee--of course, he was fresh from his pilates class! The photos are beautiful. He was a bright light in the world of pediatrics and he will always shine in our memories.
Posted by Rhea, RN & fan
All of the above comments show what a wonderful person Dr Greene was. I started working on the postpartum/well-baby nursery floor in 1971 as a CNA, retired in 2018 as a RN. He was always fun to work with, especially when he had us time his circumcisions. They were 3 minutes, start to finish, and perfect. RIP.
Posted by Courtney Quaintance, patient
I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Greene's passing. He was my pediatrician from the time I was born until I was 18, and a friend and colleague of my mother, Cecele Quaintance. I will always remember how he loved to say, with a twinkle in his eye, every time we ran into each other long after I was too grown to be his patient: "I've known you since before you were born!" Thank you for your kindness to our family, Dr. Greene. We will miss you!
Posted by Jane Kessler Buchsbaum, from New Orleans, growing up friend, same buddies and same school
We had a wonderful crowd of girls and guys growing up and Richard was quite the jokester and friend. He graduated high school in 1954 with many friends and there were many more of us in 1955. Richard was always the go to guy with a more serious shoulder to lean on if needed. Plus as his photos show, he really was very cute and later handsome.He was so smart, he was bound for a fine future which he achieved. I am so glad to have know him growing up and so sorry to read that he is gone now with wonderful memories we shall all share.

Richard was a close friend for nearly fifty years. He was Pediatrician to our daughter and granddaughter and answered our calls of concern day or night. We spent many wonderful hours with Richard, Lynda and family. Richard will be missed so much. He was one-in-a-million. We loved him...Richard was a true boychick.
Posted by Joanie and Bob Mengarelli, personal friends and mother of one of Richard's patients
In the summer of 1981, pregnant with my son, a close friend referred me to Dr. Greene, to do our well baby assessment exam after birthing at Stanford Hospital. Little did I know that 2 1/2 day hospital experience would create a lasting and treasured friendship of almost 40 years (Richard also became my child's pediatrician, even keeping him as his patient throughout my son's college years). Over time, our bond with Richard and Lynda grew into a deeper and cherished friendship. We became confidants and occasional traveling companions, sharing memorable times at family and friend's weddings, special events, lunches or dinners out on the town or in each other's homes. A forever memory etched in my mind is the occasional pre-dinner Cosmopolitan (only 1!) that Richard so enjoyed. We like to think you are soaring with the angels now dear Richie, as you certainly were one during your time on earth. Thank you for all the years of your kindness and compassion as both a friend and caring pediatrician, your positive spirit during periodic health crisis, yours and ours, but especially for the lifetime of memories as two of our dearest friends. Along with your beautiful wife Lynda and your loving family, we miss you immensely but are so grateful for the honor of having known you both personally and professionally. Rest in peace, dear pal.

I met Rich when I was a young RN working graveyard shift in pediatrics at San Mateo County hospital ( Chope). In the middle of the night I had an emergency and called him, he was soon at my side. Thank God and Dr Greene- the baby survived. We became friends after that. We ran into each other over the years, he always greeted me with that great smile. I’ll never forget you Rich. Xo Kate.

A zillion memories of Richard from Camp Horseshoe plus a few years ago of a great afternoon with Richard in Palo Also and then dinner with Richard and Lynda. At Camp Horseshoe Richard developed the Greene War Dance for the Green Team which he used to work his team into a lather against our Brown Team with the Greens ultimately being unbeatable. One afternoon Richard and Mike Skadren '"kidnapped" my cabin mate,, Ed Pereles, and tied him up in the shed on the A-Field. About 2 in the morning Richard and Mike found their conscience and went to free Ed, only to find that he was gone. A little worried Richard and Mike descended to our cabin to be sure something tragic hadn't befell Ed. Ed had alerted us so that we were ready for them. Of course we threw them into the lake, which was the usual consequence of questionable behavior at Camp Horseshoe. Richard is memorable for his caring for people, which from the above and more, we can see that he carried all his life into his medical practice and family.

I've had the great fortune of growing up with the Greene's as Lynda is my mom's BFF from high school and their friendship is as strong as gold. It's hard to imagine a world without Dr. Greene, or Richie as we always called him. The memories of fun are endless... ski trips to Lake Tahoe, majestic hikes, water skiing, 49ers potlucks, hours of tennis and pool time, holiday parties (Richie always chose to play Santa Claus), birthday dinners, and most importantly A LOT of laughs, banter, and outdoor adventures. Richie lived life to the fullest, no doubt! His passion for his work, his wife, his family, and his friends was at his core. I'm going to always remember Richie's zest for life and am so grateful for decades of friendship.

I always picture Dr. Greene with a twinkle in his eye as if he’s already thinking of something that will make you laugh or smile. If he was around, there was fun to be had. Here are a few of my favorite memories: dressing up as Raggedy Ann and Andy with Shell for Halloween when he was dressed as a clown; taking a Father-Daughter rafting trip down the South Fork of the American River; and feeling so happy and touched when he accepted my newborn daughter as a patient in 1995 before we moved out of state. There is a special place in my heart for Dr. Greene. Love and hugs to his family, friends and the many others who also adored being around him.
Posted by Gary Cavalli, father of three of Rich's patients and longtime friend
Rich Greene was an icon in our family. He was the pediatrician to all three of our daughters and a man we all adored as a cherished friend. When our infant daughter, Erin, was diagnosed with a heart murmur in 1975, we were referred to Rich. Ten minutes into the consult, we asked him if he could become Erin's pediatrician. He had that effect on people. You were immediately taken by his smile, his warmth, the fact he was such a great listener, the fact he always looked you right in the eye. Rich took care of our girls from 1975-2011, and they all loved him. We were honored that he had a photo of Erin, Kelly and Alyssa on the bulletin board outside his office. Christy and I were fortunate to become personal friends with Rich and Lynda. We enjoyed several dinners together. Rich and I had an annual (expensive) lunch at Village Pub, where we laughed, drank wine and chatted until they forced us to give up our table. I saw Rich in Larkspur last year right before the pandemic hit. We had lunch at Perry's and walked back to his condo. He was very proud of the place, and how he and Lynda had decorated it. I'm so glad I made that 90-minute drive from Danville to spend that day with him. It will be among the many wonderful memories I have of Dr. Richard Greene, the terrific doctor, the great man, the treasured friend.

My former wife and I met Richard in 1967. We were going to be adopting a newborn child and wanted to have a pediatrician to help us through the process. We were going to be new parents and Richard was a new pediatrician at PA Medical Clinic. What fortuitous beginning! We liked Richard immediately and, of course, selected him. During our first year, our sitter noticed something irregular in our son Shaun’s behavior, brought this to our attention and we visited Richard. He ran a series of tests and Shaun appeared to be okay. Richard had a second sense and ran some additional tests and determined that Shaun had meningitis. Richard proscribed meds and therapy and Shaun recovered nicely We were very grateful and continued to have Richard see Shaun into adulthood. We enjoyed Richard and became friends. Richard and I both got divorced and remarried. The four of us had similar interests including traveling abroad, dining out, cooking, attending plays, musicals, wine tasting and attending sports events (including Stanford football). We enjoyed many, many good times together.
Posted by Diane and Mark Cassanego, parents to three of his patients
Our family was so very fortunate to have Dr. Greene as pediatrician to our three children (1983, 1985, 1987). His wise counsel and technical expertise helped us understand what to worry about, what not to worry about and prepare for the challenges that would lay ahead in parenting. Throughout the years I would remind my children what Dr. G. might say when confronted with a challenge. Two of them are now parents themselves. Lucky they would be to have a pediatrician like Dr. Greene to help them navigate the trials and tribulations of parenthood. It is my hope that Dr. Greene's words live on and on in the lives of all of his patients. Many thanks to the family for such a wonderful tribute and website. Dr. Greene always spoke of his wife and family. To finally personally share his joy through the family photographs is priceless. My most sincere condolences to his entire family on this first Father's Day without him.

Richard, dearest friend, you will be forever missed. In the same way you were proud of your wonderful family, rightly proud of the great care you provided to your patients, and proud of your professional colleagues, we were proud to have you as our loyal friend for so many years! Your leaving us has opened a void that will have to be filled with memories of our great times together.

I worked with Dr. Greene in the well baby nursery at Standford Hospital from 1974-1983 when I left to teach at San Jose State. Dr. Greene was a wonderful pediatrician, a breath of fresh air and fun antics--especially on the weekend and loved to teach anyone who was interested. I learned a great deal from him and respected him greatly.
Posted by Liz Blank, Mother of Patient
I met Dr. Greene when my first son was born with a genetic translocation and a heart valve defect. We had to do regular EKGs and x-ray/ultrasound imaging on our little guy and it was disconcerting to say the least. Dr. Greene was kind, caring and direct with me which always gave me confidence that I was hearing what I needed to hear in a compassionate manner. His warm smile was always welcoming. I remember when he purchased his first smart phone or perhaps apple phone, he could not wait to show me all the pictures he had taken -- he was proud to scroll through them with me. His joie de vivre was contagious. Our son is now a medical doctor practicing sports medicine. Perhaps Dr. Greene's care had an early influence on him... I like to think so. Rest in Peace Richard.

If you would like to make a donation in memory of Richard, we suggest you choose Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) where Richard worked for 48 years.
Richard and Lynda established the Pediatric Cardiology Fund to give back to PAMF in gratitude for a wonderful professional career. Outcomes for children with congenital heart disease have improved dramatically. Today, almost all of these children are able to live normal lives after surgery or other interventions to correct their heart abnormalities.
The pediatric cardiology field will certainly continue to evolve through research and new technology. As it does, PAMF will need funds to support research and buy new equipment. The fund will be there to help future pediatric cardiologists with those expenses.
Donations can be made by phone at 650-853-4808 or online here.
