Saget’s “Full House” costars also paid tribute on social media.

Candace Cameron Bure, who played his eldest daughter on the series, posted a photo of she and Saget hugging with the caption, “I love you sooooo much. I don’t want to say goodbye 💔. 35 years wasn’t long enough.”

Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, his middle daughter, on “Full House” posted on Instagram with a sentimental caption of their relationship, “Bob was a wonderful human being. A human being that could drive you nuts at times, and he knew it, but who was so genuine that you couldn’t even get that frustrated. Someone who would also call and profusely apologize for at LEAST 15 minutes if he thought he MAY have perhaps said something he shouldn’t have or thought maybe he took a joke too far. He was a genuinely kind spirit who made it through so much in his life, and was most happy when he was helping others. Whether it was personally or through SO many of his different avenues of philanthropy. He gave great hugs too. I would always say “you’re the best TV dad ever”. And he was.”

John Stamos and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (both playing the same role as Saget’s youngest daughter, were also on the series.
