STEVE "POPS" LERNER (1945-2026) was a very passionate collector who shared his knowledge freely with others. Steve was quick to laugh, and made friends easily. He was dedicated to his family and friends.
He was designated a Lifetime Member for his efforts on behalf of our community and enjoyed serving as Treasurer of the NEMCA Board of Directors for many years. Steve established many of the financial systems we use today and helped acquire our tax-exempt status. We are grateful for the time and expertise he shared with us all.
