During my Professional life , I had the privilege to deal with Mr. Lax professionally, always receiving kind and professional words from Mr, Lax . When I professionally stumbled in life, he was ready to offer a chair in his company , which did not materialize for different reasons but the mere intention and confidence in me , did lift my spirit , Mr. Bernard Lax , may your memory live and be a blessing to those fortunate enough to call you a friend and family

Lynda, Taylor, my deepest condolences to you and family. I am saddened and lost for words on Bernard´s passing. It has been an honor, privileged, and grateful to work for Bernard. He was my boss, my friend, and most importantly a brother. I worked for Bernard´s parents Lewie and Sidonia and treated me like their son. Later when Bernard Bernard took over Classic Creations , I worked for Bernard and Lynda and just like Bernard´s parents, both Bernard and Lynda treated me as family. Bernard had a warm and humanitarian heart. He treated people with respect no matter where people came from. I will miss you boss, my friend, my brother.

Lynda, words can't describe how sorry I am for your loss. My husband and I feel truly blessed to have spent the weekend with you and Bernard celebrating Elise and Willie ; please know you are always welcome to our home anytime in South Texas. Our deepest condolences to you and your son Taylor. I've attached a pic of you and Bernard braving the dance floor first before the dance floor had a chance to be mopped dry. With Love, Michelle and Mike

What a wonderful tribute to a truly wonderful guy. I am so sorry to read this news of Bernard's passing. I knew Bernard during his San Diego days, when we both worked at the Aquatic Center. He was a really fun guy, unanimously liked by one and all, a gregarious personality who was at once easy going, self confident, relaxed, and eternally jolly. This aspect of his personality made Bernard someone everyone wanted to be friends with and be around--and it really did seem to me that Bernard knew absolutely everyone and every detail about each person. After college, our lives drifted apart as he moved back to LA and I stayed in San Diego. However, I was fortunate enough to see Bernard over the years at various MBAC alumni events, and to my delight, he had not changed even a smidge. As a matter of fact, he always acted as if we kept in touch and saw each other every day. Bernard always brought a smile to my face, and I am going to always remember him and that wonderful gift of happiness he shared with all of us that knew him.

My sincere condolences to the Lax family and my old family at Pulp. Best company ever and was more than thankful to work with Bernard. This is so darn sad to hear. Life if more fragile than glass.
Respectfully,

The glass business has always been difficult but you tackled it with humility and charm. Though we were officially competitors, I enjoyed our many conversations over the years. More importantly, I looked up to your accomplishments and appreciated your many talents. I always felt like at the end of one of our chats that you had taught me something. The world is a lesser place for your passing.

Although I only meet Bernard a few times in San Francisco with work related issues it was obvious that he was a man of integrity and personality. My sincere condolences to the family.

So sad and hard for me to realize he is gone but not forgotten. Bernard gave me the opportunity to work for him from 2013-2016 until I returned back to Santa Fe. He was an amazing sharp businessman which I had the honor to be in the production meetings each week which could be rough but learning. Just the 3 years working for him made me realize how God had his hand on his life. May you Rest In Peace. My sincere condolences to Lynda, Taylor and the Pulp family.

I am still trying to believe this. In life there are always a few people that have that magnetic and warm way about them. That mixed in with deep knowledge of business, glass, art and more, and the conversations were never dull and always full and fun. I was lucky enough to regularly run in to Bernard and Lynda at the Glass shows and also saw their incredible factory. Bernard and Pulp were, and remain a huge influence to myself and our company up north in Canada. Rest in Peace and thank you for the memories, I (we) will never forget you!

I have very fond memories of Bernard. Especially of Bernard coming over for breakfast each morning before school. He became a part of our family. He was a special person even then.

Words cannot express what I feel and cannot say how much I valued the friendship of an incredible and humane person as Bernard. My most sincere condolences dear Lynda !
Whom am I going to call now for advice on very important issues or trivial things like Netflix series , politics or our very common passion : Glass and people. What a huge loss...
One day Bernard, yourself and myself will see each other again in a beautiful and peaceful place
Much love from North Carolina

I am still trying to process this- he was so amazing in so many ways. First time I met him was many years ago at regional show in Texas. We shared a cab back to the airport and it was this awesome experience of hearing all of things that Bernard had going on. I didn't want the ride to end. From there on out, seeing Bernard and Lynda at shows both here in the US and every other year in Germany was always a highlight for me. Such a great man, leader, and true visionary. Lynda and family my deepest condolences to you and I'll have you and yours in mind.

I was very saddened to learn of Bernard's passing. I admired his tenacity and love of his business, Pulp Studio. He was creative and practical at the same time, and always a straight shooter--telling you exactly how he felt. My condolences to Lyndia and Taylor and all of Bernard's family. He will be missed!

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Bernard's family. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. He was a unique person and entrepreneur who brought so much innovation to the glass business. I always enjoyed my conversations with Bernard. He had an infectious positive attitude and he looked at problems as opportunities. He was a strong and energetic supporter of the glass industry. I will miss him.

Lynda and family,
My sincere sympathy to you, this is shocking, unbelievable loss.
Back in the 90´s I received Bernard´s telephone call to inquire about interlayer, I knew he was one of a kind. Sincere, straight forward, get right to it attitude I just loved, as I can relate to that work ethic. Our business relationship/friendship was fun because we made things happen in business, made work enjoyable and fun.
With love, I wish you healing and peace.
