This is the speech that John Stamos gave at Bob Saget’s funeral: You will always be my best friend, you are my new guardian angel

Last Friday, January 14, the members of the tanner family (An almost perfect home, Fuller House) reunited for the comedian’s funeral Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), who was found dead in his hotel room Ritz Carlton Orlando, on Sunday, January 9.

The posthumous tribute was also attended by the twins Mary Kate y Ashley Olsen, although they were absent from the Netflix project that brought together in 2016 to all the characters of the original series.

Although the ceremony was kept private and his fans around the world could only have access to the words that the actors and relatives publicly of the deceased actor published in their social networks to say goodbye to him Los Angeles Times shared the speech John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis) delivered during his funeral.

Here are some of the most emotional excerpts:

“When I saw your last Instagram post, my first thought it was that it looked too ‘alive’ to die hours later. But I think that’s fine. We should all want to ‘die well alive’. We do not want to be full of regrets, remorse and forgetfulness. We want to be overwhelmed with the privilege and satisfaction of doing what we do best. Bob felt young, revitalized, grateful, and loved. The applause and laughter didn’t die down before Bob.”

“It’s hard to explain who Bob was personally to me, without first realizing that he too was HIS Bob. The waves of love for him that come from all over the world are impressive. Although it has been difficult for me to see and read the tributes in different media, I think everyone gets it, they say the right things by remembering Bob in all those outstanding ways. I just wish he had known how much the whole world loved him while he was still here.”.

“When we started with Almost Perfect Home, I was in my twenties and nothing worried me. But life is what it is and when it all came crashing down, the last person on Earth I would have imagined to be my strength became that. When I lost my parents, Bob was there for me like no one else. He told dirty jokes and officiated at my dad’s funeral. he andHe was there through divorces, deaths, dark days and days of despair.. was with me too when I fell in love, got married, had my son and brighter days came. he is my lifeline”.

“When the news broke, I broke down. I was in pieces and I felt completely incapable of comforting another. But my wife picked me up, put me in the car and drove to Bob and Kelly’s (Rizzo) house. That is what Bob would have done had the opposite been the case. (…) Maybe I need to stop looking for Bob in the sky and accept that he is where he belongs, in peace and free”.

“I spent several days refusing to let him go. But now I’m starting to realize that I don’t have to. I don’t have to say goodbye because he will never leave my heart. And I will continue to talk to him every day and let him know what he means to me. Bob, I will never have another friend like you, you will always be my best friend. You are my new guardian angel, although the angel with the dirtiest mouth, but with the biggest heart and benevolent as always.”

Saget rests on the Mount Sinai Memorial Park in Los Angeles California.
