And John isn’t the only Full House star remembering the TV legend. After all, David Coulier also honored Bob’s legacy by opening up about the day he learned his dear friend died.

“4 years ago today, John Stamos called me and told me that Bob Saget died,” David wrote on a Jan. 9 Instagram post. “I didn’t know how to react or process such devastating news. I cried. That’s all I could do."

Indeed, after Bob—who shared kids Aubrey, 38, Lara, 36, and Jennifer, 33, with ex-wife Sherri Kramer before marrying Kelly Rizzo in 2018—died from a fall that caused blunt head trauma at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Fla. Jan. 9 2022, David emphasized how his life was never the same.

“I felt so helpless as the stark reality hit me—there would no longer be those crazy funny voicemails from Bob that would go on for many minutes, making me laugh for the rest of my day,” he explained. “Me, John and Bob would no longer get to be The Three Stooges or laugh so hard that we had to leave the room.”

He added, “The world lost my brother 4 years ago. Sometimes I still pick up my phone and want to call to tell him something funny or how much I love him. Our relationship was funny, silly, stupid, immature and filled with love.”

In the heartbreaking tribute, he also noted that there’s quite literally no one like Bob.

“I have no one else like Bob in my life, but he’s given me such great memories for the rest of it,” he wrote, “To say that I miss him is an understatement. To say to the world about how much I loved him is exactly what Bob would’ve wanted. I love you Bob.”

And Candace—who played Bob’s onscreen daughter D.J. Tanner on the show, as well as in the Netflix spin-off series Fuller House, also shared a slew of throwback pics remembering the actor.

“I miss you,” she wrote on the Jan. 9 social media post alongside a white heart and dove emoji. “Not just today, but every day.”

And Andrea Barber—who played Kimmy Gibbler in the series—also shared a few words about Bob’s passing.

“It’s strange to live in a world where Bob’s voice exists only in memory,” she wrote on a Jan. 9 Instagram post that also honored her late mom. “I never imagined him being this quiet, even in death. I hope he knows how often we talk about him here. How deeply he is loved. Every single day.”

She later added, “Grief is the price of deep love. And I carry it every day with gratitude for the ones I miss.”

For a look back on some of Bob’s most memorable roles, read on…

From 1987 to 1995, Saget starred on Full House. He played Danny Tanner, a widowed father who has his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) move in to help him raise his three daughters: D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle Tanner (Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen).

After the news broke, Stamos took to Twitter to mourn Saget's death. "I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock," he wrote. "I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby."

Saget also hosted America's Funniest Home Videos from 1989 to 1997. "We are saddened to hear about the passing of the great @bobsaget," the show's official Twitter account wrote in a tribute. "Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time."

Danny Tanner wasn't the only fatherly role Saget played. From 2001 to 2002, Saget portrayed Matt Stewart, a widowed dad who raises his daughters Sarah (Kat Dennings) and Emily (Brie Larson) with some assistance from his father (Jerry Adler) and is also a teacher at Sarah's high school.

"I'm speechless," Dennings wrote on Instagram. "Bob Saget was the best. So kind. I was his TV daughter for one season and he was generous, protective, caring and wonderful. He talked about his kids constantly. Rest In Peace."

From 2005 to 2014, Saget served as the narrator on How I Met Your Mother and provided the voice of Josh Radnor's character Ted Mosby in the future.

During a 2014 interview with Larry King, Saget said "it was a beautiful thing to have been involved in it" and recalled being offered the role while he was working on a play in New York.

"I did it immediately because I read it and it was a love letter. It was a relationship show," he said. "And it's been an amazing thing that I forget, people say, 'I love your show.' I say, 'Well, it's their show 'cause they're the most talented actors that made this happen.'"

While he wasn't a regular member of the cast, Saget did make a few cameos on Entourage, including in 2005, 2009 and 2010 episodes and the 2015 movie. He also made brief appearances on other shows, including a 2018 episode of Shameless.

Saget played Steve Patterson on the 2009 sitcom Surviving Suburbia. The show followed the lives of Steve, his wife Anne (Cynthia Stevenson) and their children Henry (Jared Kusnitz) and Courtney (Genevieve Hannelius) and their dynamic with their neighbors.

Over the years, Saget starred in a number of stand-up specials, including Bob Saget: Zero to Sixty (2017) and Bob Saget: That Ain't Right (2007). His 2013 special, Bob Saget: That's What I'm Talkin' About, was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Comedy Album category.

In 2016, Saget reprised his role as Danny Tanner on the spinoff series Fuller House. The show followed D.J., now an adult and recent widow, as she raises her three sons with her sister Stephanie and BFF Kimmy (Andrea Barber). The show ended in 2020.

"I don't know what to say," Bure tweeted. "I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans beings I've ever known in my life. I loved him so much."
