Lenny Bacich




There isn't much I can say about this that hasn't already been said, or felt, but Lenny Bacich has passed away. I've had him since my freshman year here at Pratt, and I can't imagine finishing my senior year without him. He's been immensely important to me and my education here at pratt, design or otherwise. There was so much passion coming from this man for all of his students that it really was astonishing. Hands down he was my favorite teacher here and I could always go to him whenever I needed advice, comfort, or just a good talk. He was an important part of continuing the legacy that is pratt's 3-D industrial design program and I feel extremely lucky to have known and learned from him. Although he is gone physically, he will really live on through all the students. I'm so sad about this loss, i'm just one of hundreds and probably thousands of students who have been profoundly changed by Lenny over the past 30 something years he's spent teaching at Pratt, and one of the many who loves him dearly.
