Not sure what to say?

I picked up a piece of art today, signed "Frank Salzhandler" and named "La Seine". I am just wondering if the family would like to have it?

I didn't know Frank well, yet always enjoyed his friendliness at the many swim meets we attended together during our youth. Thank you, Frank, for touching so many lives with your positive energy.

I will miss you Frank and thanks for touching my life. Frank was 1 of a kind

Frank was a thoughtful fellow with a big heart and endearing hug. Followed his passion and principles and made a living by caring about the environment long before it was trendy. You'll be missed by all your cousins, big guy!

Frank,

If we could only ask for an encore, brother!

You are loved. You will be missed.

Frank,

Encore, brother!

Dear Henry, Richard, Danny and Norma,

We are so sorry about this unexpected loss of Frank.

It's overwhelming to think about his successful, steady efforts over the past few decades: working to get environmental groups into workplace campaigns; the art show with the original art from artists like Charles Frace and Robert Bateman; (and having his Vanishing Wildlife art show exhibited at Exxon! ); the book Images of Vanishing Nature, the dolphin trips for at-risk students,...

Frank was a very unselfish, giving person that did everything he could to preserve the natural balance of the environment in the Buffalo Bayou area. He was a really funny guy - I will always remember him going 20 mph in 40, engrossed in a story. I will miss his laugh, his great heart and his smile. He left us way too soon. I hope his message continues among Houston's environmental community. What a loss!

Frank always had a funny story to tell me, even if sometimes the humor didn't hit me until later! We would see each other at least twice yearly at Earth Share of Texas meetings during a 15-year span, and Frank would invariably pull me aside at some point during the meeting with, 'Hey, I thought about you when I heard this story . . . '. He left us too quickly. My thoughts are with his family.
