Bob Saget and Candace Bure were first introduced to each other in 1987 to play the father-daughter duo Danny and DJ Tanner on “Full House”.

Several years later, the pair got the chance to work together again for the Netflix reboot “Fuller House”, which ran from 2016 – 2020.

“Oh, Bob. Why’d you have to leave us so soon? We are all family, but you were the glue,” Cameron Bure wrote beside a photo of her hugging Saget. “The sticky, messy, squishy, sweet, lovable glue. My childhood is wrapped up in you, my formative teenaged years and the rest of adulthood.”

“You taught me to feel deeply at such a young age. You were never afraid or ashamed to share your emotions, to cry, to love, to laugh and say it out loud,” she continued. “We’ve always been so deeply connected since the day we met when I was 10 years old.”

She further opened up about how she feels about Saget, adding that he knew she felt that way. “You weren’t just like a father, but one of my closest friends in life,” the actress went on. “This hurts like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I love you, I love you, I love you. You knew that. I knew that. But I have to say it again.”

Continuing her post, she said she wished she could spend one last quality time with Saget, who was “always so protective of me, and cared about everything. And everybody.”

“You were the best. You were… Bob. There will never be another like you,” she concluded. “I wish you could see the outpouring of love you have. You’ve certainly left a beautiful legacy in kindness, compassion, loyalty, generosity, and love❤️. I’m not saying goodbye because you’ll never leave my heart. Even with this gigantic tear in it 💔”
