Yes, unfortunately he has.
This was published on the Spectropop list yesterday:
-----
I was very sad to read a message from Ron Weekes on the Gary Usher site
that Jeffrey Glenn has passed away:

I'm sure lots of Spectroppers will recall Jeffrey's many messages, always
full of fun and enthusiasm, to the group. His fully annotated "Lost Jukebox"
series of CD-R's from the 1990s are the reason for many obscure vocal
recordings floating around in cyberspace today.
I'd lost touch with him some years ago, but his review "Top Pop Picks"
for my Irving Martin site (
http://www.martinruk.net/IrvingMartin/index.htm )
displays his knowledge of and joy in music.
Rest in peace, Jeffrey.

I had some contact with Jeffrey in the Nineties and I remember him as
someone with a lot of knowledge of music and Sixties music in general. We
lost touch, but I was saddened nonetheless when I read about his passing.
RIP, Jeffrey!

On last night's Pop Garden Radio, we celebrated the life of a dear friend,
Jeffrey Glenn. Jeff was a kind and caring person, with a silly sense of
humor. He was an encyclopedia of all things Pop. Anyone who ever met him
picked up on the fact that he knew nearly every obscure fact about millions
of Pop songs. He has been a part of the Pop Garden Radio family since the
very first show, and it seemed appropriate to do a special show to remember
Jeff.
You'll hear music from Jeff's band, The Retros, songs from his friends, some
of his favorite tracks and a few of the oddball songs that Jeff would force
me to play.
I know that Jeff was a member of Audities. It was actually through Jeff that
I first heard about this list.
