I bought a Croft 25 Pre from Tim at Divine Audio after a home trial maybe 15 years ago, and it was the first piece of audio I had owned that made me feel I was in the realms of Hifi.
I later added a pair of 7 monos to upgrade from Arcams and subsequently had these updgraded to a 25RS custom and 7Rs.
I called in on him a few times in Scarborough to deliver or pick up items in for upgrade, the last time just two years ago. He was a lovely guy to deal with and shoot the breeze about cricket and music. Mainly cricket, of course.
He will be remembered by me and the friends of mine who have had the joy of hearing their favourite music played as it should be heard.
RIP Glenn, my life is better for having known you.
