Stamos posted a particularly poignant tribute following Saget's death on Instagram, sharing a photo of the "Full House" cast alongside a touching caption on January 10, 2022. "Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob," Stamos wrote. "He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly. We ask in Bob's honor, hug the people you love. No one gave better hugs than Bob."
Now, Stamos is using social media again to remember his close friend, this time reflecting on a year without Saget.
