Bob would’ve turned 68 on Friday, May 17.
His Full House castmates remembered the actor with tributes on social media.
John Stamos, who played Saget’s brother-in-law on the show, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
“Happy Birthday Bob. This was taken as we gathered for his funeral,” he wrote.
“Though Bob wasn’t there physically, his spirit was unmistakably present, wrapping us in warmth and shared memories that drew both laughter and tears.”
“That day, each of us felt the weight of his absence and the strength of the bond he nurtured among us. Bob was the heart of our Full House family. His legacy of kindness and compassion was evident in the faces around me, (on Dumbo) in the gentle ways we supported one another, echoing the love he always extended,” John, 60, went on.
“We celebrated a life that was a true gift to us all.”
“Bob, you are with us in every joke we share and every hug we give. Rest in peace, dear friend. Your family misses you more than words can say,” he ended.
Mary-Kate and Ashley, both 37, (Michelle Tanner) appeared alongside John (Uncle Jesse Katsopolis), Candace Cameron Bure (D.J. Tanner), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), Scott Weinger (Steve Hale), and the show’s creative and executive producer, Jeff Franklin.
Bob died on January 9, 2022, at the age of 65 in Orlando, Florida.

‘MAKING ME EMOTIONAL’
Since leaving Hollywood, Mary-Kate and Ashley tend to stay out of the spotlight.
Because of that, fans were happy to see them reunited with their Full House family, even if it was for a somber occasion.
“Seeing Mary Kate and Ashley there just made me so emotional,” one fan said.

“Picture perfect with Mary-Kate and Ashley,” added a third.
“Oh, I’m so glad the twins were a part of this to honor him. It’s so nice to see you all together,” a follower wrote.
“Seeing the Olsen twins in this photo makes it even more sentimental,” commented a fan.
