I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.

Loughlin, also known as Aunt Becky to Full House fans, shared the screen as Saget’s TV co-worker and, in later seasons, sister-in-law and housemate. While Loughlin doesn’t have social media, she released a personal statement.
Words cannot begin to express how devastated I am. Bob was more than my friend, he was my family. I will miss his kind heart and quick wit. Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories and laughter. I love you Bobby.
While Saget may be best known for raising his three TV daughters, we will remember him as the man who helped raise millions of kids over more than three decades through his wise life lessons and love on Full House.
Rest in Peace, Bob.
