Howard Lerner

Today is my birthday and since it's a Saturday I thought it would be nice to spend the day in Annapolis. Before leaving I looked up Mr. Learner and saw his notice. Whenever I traveled there I would always plan on stopping into Mr. Lerner's shop. Sometimes I would be the first person through the door when he opened at noon. If I got there early I could see him descend the stairs on his way to opening up. I guess he lived over his shop. Stop in front of the Public Sales Office and look up...

Howard was a Main St icon and the last to hold on to what it used to be...we thought you'd always be around.
Rest in peace Howard. Know that you touched many people with your kindness. Main St will never be the same.

He always had something fun and different for the Holidays. Remember that year he had that funny little carousel that he thought was so much fun. He really worked hard on me to buy that one.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Lerner. He sold me my first Ukulele, as well as countless sets of strings and my favorite gray nylon picks. And I will never be able to find a better pair of sunglasses for $3.50. You will be missed, Mr. Lerner.

Mr. Lerner has been a kind presence in my life since I bought my first set of guitar strings from him over 25 years ago. Since then I have gone to him every holiday to find wonderful and often unusual gifts. From Opinel knives to his little Irish Flutes...and oh boy, what a treat if you wanted to go through his boxes of guitar picks! I will remember him always.

Howard sold me my first guitar, a Yamaha for $35 and threw in the case. He was a very decent gentleman. Howard Crise

Dear Gene, Lenore & Family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your brother, and Uncle Howard! In all of these years we never met him, but he must have been happy to live such a long life, and from the comments what else could he have been but a kind sweet soul, as all of you are! Our Love,
Marsha, Barry, Heather, Jeff, Maxwell & Jarrod

I was sorry to hear of Howard's passing. My girls will miss visiting his welcoming store on Main and his soft wecolming demeanor.

My deepest condolences. He was a kind man and an Annapolis Icon!
