| BENNETT-LEVY, Michael Esmond Died on 28th September 2016, aged 70. Michael died peacefully at home surrounded by his family (wife Zoë, sister, brother James (JH 67-71), two sons, one daughter and three grandchildren, his nephew and niece). He died as he lived, on his own terms. For 40 years, he had been an antiquary and antiques dealer and specialised in rare and sought after “Early Technology”, the name of his business. He advised and sold to collectors and museums all over the world. He was a noted restorer of scientific instruments. Latterly he was asked to restore the remarkable 18th century Grand Orrery at Dumfries House by the Great Steward of Scotland’s Trust. It is now one of the most popular exhibits at Dumfries House. He looked back at his time at Judde House with fondness and was Head of House in his last year. He attended Edinburgh University where we met and achieved two degrees - BSc and BCom which he always said fitted his future career very well. (JH 60-65) |
