No. If you wouldn't say "on behalf of he" (and you wouldn't), then you can't keep the "he" there just because you added the family to the sentence.

This kind of error is very common among native speakers of English. It arises from "hypercorrecting" for the converse error of saying "Him and his family" as the subject of a sentence, as in "Him and his family are coming too." People overstretched in trying to avoid this error, so now you hear "on behalf of he and his family," "between you and I," etc. People with college educations and more often use such phrases, but every editor in the world will still mark them as incorrect. Fortunately, in this case saying it correctly does NOT sound at all stilted. No one will think you are a pedant for saying "on behalf of him and his family," even if they don't say it themselves.
