Former ORCA President Steve Lumpkin passes

Post by Mike N »

Sad to convey that former ORCA President Steve Lumpkin (President,1997-2001) has passed away per a post on Joe’s. He was a fine man and friend to every person he met. I believe he also served as president of the NFLCC, a rare feat. Godspeed, Steve.

I am very, very sad right now but know he is in a better place. My thoughts are with Pitt and his family right now.

Folks,

So sad to hear. Although I didn't get a chance to meet Steve, our email conversations were extensive when I was writing an article for NFLCC about a "disagreement" between Millsite Steel & Wireworks and James Heddon's Sons, soon to be published in the NFLCC magazine. The pictures in the article are Steve's, generously given to me for my use.

We will all miss Steve's insights and knowledge.

Steve was a class act and helped a lot of young collectors. He will be missed.
