Still, he couldn’t eulogize someone with as dirty a sense of humor as Saget’s without a few jokes. “I’ve gotten thousands of texts, emails and calls speaking to our 35-year friendship, telling me how sorry they were for my loss. People have even sent flowers like I lost my wife or something,” Stamos said. “Come to think of it, when we were together, we were like an old, married couple: all bickering, no sex.”
Heavy on the bickering with Stamos remembering a tiff they had during an appearance with fellow Full House costar Dave Coulier. Stamos apologized after, but Saget didn’t respond for a few days, which “was a long time not to have heard from Bob.”
Then on Stamos’ 58th birthday in August, he read a tribute from Saget. “Today is the day that my brother John Stamos was born,” it read in part. “To say we are like brothers is an understatement. We have been through so much together for 35 years. High, lows- The usual you go through with your closest of people in your life. But what I have to say here, is how damned lucky I am to have John in my life. He has always been there for me. Even when I could be unbearable.”
Now, as Stamos put it, “I may just read that every day for the rest of my life.”
