We are deeply saddened by the passing of Burt Saltzman, a cherished pillar of Cleveland and a steadfast champion for all its residents. Burt was far more than a business owner, he modeled what It truly means to be a community leader—which Is neighbor caring for neighbor.

Through his generosity, leadership, and quiet commitment, Burt helped strengthen countless social service agencies and the people we serve. His belief in meeting the basic needs of all and his unwavering sense of compassion left an indelible mark on the city.

Burt’s legacy of service, integrity, and humanity will continue to inspire us as we carry our own work forward.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
