Bob Saget was remembered Monday on the first anniversary of his death by the cast of “Full House,” his wife Kelly Rizzo and friend John Mayer.
“One year ago today, we lost Bob Saget,” wrote Mayer on Instagram, referring to the comedian’s January 2022 death from accidental head trauma. “I loved that guy. I love saying ‘I loved that guy.’ Soon after he left us, I couldn’t finish those three words without falling apart, but now I say it with all the simplicity and complexity that love itself entails.”
Mayer recalled their countless “dinners and drinks and stories and laughs” as “the stuff of Old Hollywood Magic” and said he misses Saget “all the time.”
Rizzo, who previously shared what she misses most about Saget and got a touching tattoo in his honor, tweeted Twitter owner Elon Musk after noticing her late husband was no longer verified. She asked Musk if something could be done, as Saget “truly loved Twitter.”
“I just wanted you to know, I’ve thought of you every day for the past year,” wrote “Full House” alumn Jodie Sweetin. “It’s just not the same without you with us, and I don’t think it ever will feel like that again. … there’s so many moments you were supposed to be here for.”
Sweetin said she regularly asks herself: “What would Bob do in this moment?” Her answer: “Make a joke about it.” She said his photo on the wall at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles gave her courage before a recent performance.
“Bob could always bring out the 5th grader in me,” wrote Dave Coulier. “I met him when I was just an unknown, 18 year-old standup at a small club in Detroit. We became instant brothers. Sometimes, I still grab my phone, ready to share one of the hundreds of silly bits we did together.”
“At some point today, I’ll think about how much I miss him and I’ll shed some tears,” Coulier continued. “Then I’ll hear Bob’s voice, and it’ll make me laugh. Enjoy the gifts of life while they’re still here with you. Tell those you love that you love them … and hug them like Bob Saget.”
Candace Cameron Bure, who played Saget’s eldest daughter in “Full House,” wrote on Instagram that she “stayed up for hours watching videos of Bob on my phone.” She said she couldn’t watch them last year, but now they comfort her and “warmed my heart.”
John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse on the hit TV series, told Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper during their New Year’s Eve broadcast for CNN that he misses Saget “madly.”
Saget, 65, was found dead at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. He is survived by his wife and three daughters.
