Notes for Thomas Leon SALTZ
IN MEMORY OF THOMAS L. SALTZ ˆ HON. CHARLES H. TAYLOR (Extension of Remarks ˆ June 20, 1995)
Hon. Charles H. Taylor in the House of Representatives
Tuesday, June 20, 1995
Mr. Taylor of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a very special man from western North Carolina, Thomas L. Saltz, who passed away on June 5, at the age of 64. It is with great sadness that I offer my condolences to his wife Doris and the rest of the Saltz family. Thomas Saltz was a friend to all and a tireless worker. His passing is a great loss to all who knew him.
Mr. Saltz grew up in Henderson County, NC. He was schooled at Dana High School, where he also played basketball. Later, he joined the Army, and is a Korean War veteran. After leaving the service, he went to work for General Electric, where he served for 35 years until his retirement in 1990.
Mr. Saltz loved his community and participated actively in it. He was a member of the American Legion Post 77, Woodmen of the World, Southern Lights Square Dance Club, and the East Flat Rock First Baptist Church. He was a steadfast Republican who put people first in everything he did. He was a former party chairman and had served as chairman of the Henderson County Board of Elections. Mr. Saltz was devoted to the party until his death. He has been considered by many who knew as the backbone of the Henderson County Republican Party for the last 40 years. At the time of his death he was a Henderson County precinct chairman.
Thomas Saltz will be remembered as a father, a friend, and a leader. He touched the lives of many people and will be missed dearly.
