“Although Bob was not physically present, his spirit was unmistakably present, enveloping us in warmth and sharing memories that brought laughter and tears.”
“That day, each of us felt the weight of his absence and the strength of the bond he nurtured between us. Bob was the heart of our Full House family. His legacy of kindness and compassion was evident in the faces around me, ( in Dumbo) in the gentle way we supported each other, echoing the love he always showed,” continued John, 60.
“We celebrate a life that was a true gift to all of us.”
“Bob, you are with us in every joke we share and every hug we give. Rest in peace, dear friend. Your family misses you more than words can say,” he concluded.
Mary-Kate and Ashley, both 37, (Michelle Tanner) appeared alongside John (Uncle Jesse Katsopolis), Candace Cameron Bure (DJ Tanner), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), Scott Weinger (Steve Hale), and the show’s executive and creative producer, Jeff Franklin.
Bob died on January 9, 2022, at age 65, in Orlando, Florida.
He had internal bleeding in the brain and tested positive for Covid-19.
‘MAKING ME EMOTIONAL’
Since leaving Hollywood, Mary-Kate and Ashley have tended to stay out of the spotlight.
Because of this, fans were happy to see them reunited with their Full House family, even if it was on a somber occasion.
“Seeing Mary Kate and Ashley there made me so emotional,” said one fan.
