Bob Saget …
Just the funniest and nicest…– Jon Stewart (@jonstewart) January 10, 2022
I know people are losing loved ones, good people, every day. No one gets a pass. But the loss of Bob Saget strikes deeply. If you didn’t know him, he was kind and dear and cared deeply about people. He was the definition of a “good egg”. Too early he leaves. #RipBobSaget

As a child, I had the good fortune to meet Bob Saget along with millions of others like Danny Tanner. I never stopped smiling when “Full House” was on. As an adult I was very fortunate to know Bob as a dear friend. A soul as kind as one can be. Rest well, Bob.
