About Charlie Loch

The lighting industry lost a dedicated and consummate professional on January 18, 2005 at the age of 72. Charles Loch, or “Charlie” as we all knew him was a true pioneer in the early development of computer software for optical design and illumination engineering. In the early 1980’s, LAI’s Todd and Dave worked with Charlie during the mainframe time sharing days of lighting software. Charlie was a very giving individual who was always willing to tackle a problem. A tireless spirit with a warm sense of humor and a story for all occasions, Charlie is dearly missed by many.
