Samantala, nakiramay din ang kapwa direktor ni Bert na si Joey Reyes sa kanyang mga naulila sa pamamagitan ng Facebook.
“You were always kind. You were always supportive of others. You were always strong at heart, remaining positive and hopeful.
“You have always remained a friend to your peers. You will be loved and remembered always, Direk.
Have a safe trip home to the waiting arms of our Father. Goodbye, Direk Bert de Leon,” sabi pa ni Direk Joey.
Nagbahagi rin ng kanyang mensahe ang singer na si Richard Reynoso sa pagpanaw ni Direk Bert, “I just learned that the industry lost another ICON, Direk Bert De Leon. If my memory serves me well, the last time I saw him was when I appeared in PEPITO MANALOTO.
“Napakadaling katrabaho, as usual cool lang siya. Aside from Pepito, Direk Bert gave us some of the funniest sitcom on national tv.
“Rest in peace, Direk Bert. And thank you for blessing us with your talent and humor,” aniya pa.
Nakiramay din ang anak ni Noli de Castro na si PTV4 General Manager Kat de Castro sa pamilya ng yumaong direktor, “You always had a warm smile every time we’d cross paths. You are so loved by many. Rest in peace Direk Bert de Leon. (heart emoji).”
Kung matatandaan, isinugod sa ospital si Direk Bert noong Hulyo matapos atakihin sa puso. Kasunod nito, sumailalim siya sa angiogram at angioplasty.
At nito lamang nakaraang buwan, naglunsad pa ng virtual fundraising event si Bitoy kasama ang ilang mga kaibigan sa showbiz. Ito’y para makatulong sa medical needs ni Direk matapos tamaan ng COVID-19.
