Meredith Long

Meredith's impact on Herb Booth, Jack Cowan, and Al Barnes and thus an entire generation of Texas wildlife artists can not be underestimated.

Nina and family,

I was saddeded to learn of Meredith's passing and fondly remembered my days working for him at Meredith Long & Co in the early 70s. Meredith was a firm, fair employer and a generous man outside of his gallery. His achievements in the art world speak for themselves.

All my best,
Jim Davidson

Although I did not know Meredith, I know how much he meant to Nina and Michael Zilkha, my dear friends. He was wonderful to them .

It was an honor to know Meredith. He was always warm and outgoing. Houston and our community lost a great man who cared about others around him. Our condolences go out to the family.

Our condolences for all those who knew and loved Meredith.

What a wonderful life, for him and all those who loved and cared for him.

It is an honor to know him, his family and the incredible live story.

To Cornelia and Family, this beautiful tribute brought back so many memories from childhood to the present. Meredith and Cornelia have always been so loving to all of the pack of friends as they watched us grow from childhood to present day Seniors. Meredith suffered our youthful shenanigans with the patience of a saint.

What a life well Lived!

Meredith Long was such an incredible friend to my father and his beloved Texas Heart Institute. They shared a love of the University of Texas, the Texas Cowboys, and conservation in the state of Texas. We are all so grateful for his dedicated leadership to the Texas Heart Institute. I will miss his wonderful sense of humor and gentlemany demeanor. My sincere condolences to the whole family. My family will so miss this wonderful man.
