John Stamos shared a rare photo on Instagram in honor of the birthday of his friend, the late Bob Saget.
The General Hospital actor, 60, shared a black and white photo of the Full House cast that included Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen standing behind a large statue of Disney’s Dumbo that is in Stamos’ home.
‘Happy Birthday Bob,’ Stamos – who helped his wife Caitlin McHugh celebrate her 38th birthday this week – wrote on what would have been Saget’s 68th birthday.
‘This was taken as we gathered for his funeral. Though Bob wasn’t there physically, his spirit was unmistakably present, wrapping us in warmth and shared memories that drew both laughter and tears,’ he continued.
Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Dave Coulier and series creator Jeff Franklin were in the photo credited to comedian Jeff Ross alongside the Olsen twins.

Stamos continued: ‘That day, each of us felt the weight of his absence and the strength of the bond he nurtured among us.
‘Bob was the heart of our Full House family. His legacy of kindness and compassion was evident in the faces around me, (on Dumbo) in the gentle ways we supported one another, echoing the love he always extended.
‘We celebrated a life that was a true gift to us all,’ he continued, adding: ‘Bob, you are with us in every joke we share and every hug we give.’
He concluded: ‘Rest in peace, dear friend. Your family misses you more than words can say.

Initially, that didn’t sit well with Stamos and he admitted made him ‘angry,’ but they have since mended fences.
‘When I did Fuller House, they didn’t want to come back and I was angry for a minute and that got out,’ he said during a May 2023 episode of the And That’s What You REALLY Missed podcast.
‘They said “We loved you guys, we loved our childhood.” We loved being with you. They came over to my house and they brought a pork chop and sage,’ Stamos said on the podcast.
