Not sure what to say?

I still think of you often. You were a wonderful friend and doctor. Will miss you always.

One year ago today Dr. Saltz left us to take his heavenly place. Once again I give my very deepest condolences to the lovely and caring Mrs. Linda Saltz and to the entire Saltz family. Dr. Saltz was by all means and nothing short of a "Legend" His time here on this earth cannot be forgotten or disregarded in any way. The impact on the lives, people Dr. Saltz made, while on earth is immeasurably, incomparable! Dr. Saltz, exceeded expectations as a physician, going above and beyond for his...

I still think of you often. You always kept me on my toes with your sense of humor and your doctoring ways. I think of the day you came out of the surgery changing room with your old white shoes you had worn since medical school. I miss your calls to see how I'm doing and the day you came for Bobs funeral. I will forever miss you James E(Gladys).

I hope you are finally at rest. You were a great doctor and human being. Always managed a smile no matter what and continued to care for your patients right up until the day you died. More than my doctor my friend my advisor. I will never forget you.

I enjoyed a light friendship
with him at Duke when we
shared several classes, and
we kept in touch for awhile
after leaving Duke. He was
a very nice person, and
popular at Duke. I am
sad to read of his death,
but I noted that he
achieved a great deal in
his life and work. Many
consolences to Linda.

My very deepest condolences, To Mrs. Saltz and family please forgive my tardiness. I have just become aware of your loss. When I first heard of Dr. Saltz being ill. I had just come back to NM. I had gone to Tucumcari but was too late as I was told he'd moved back to FL. All the search engines I found were not updated. I did however find Eddie whom ran track with my brother in high school. Found him on Facebook but it appears he no longer uses his Facebook page. My attempts to locate were...

My sincere condolences; Dr Saltz and your family were a great influence on my family and me. Memories flash through my head and there are so many. Skiing in Angel Fire, church, music with Eddie, Dr Saltz laughing at me when he told me I didn't have the flu but I would have a little girl in a few months instead; his care and attention every time we needed him. He gave my mom the opportunity to fly his plane to Albq for service; she loved to fly. He touched so many lives, it leaves me in awe. ...

Remember when he was looking to come to Tucumcari. I met him at the Pow Wow, I was working there. He helped me many times in my life.. Will never forget when my son Shane was shot, only twenty two months old. Dr. Flew us to Al uquerque, he never woul take a dime for what he did. Loved him for all this and more. You are a precious lady and pray for Gods blessings for you and the kids.

In Christs Love!
