On May 17, Stamos, 61, shared a photo of the cast reunion in honor of what would have been Saget’s 68th birthday. The black-and-whiteInstagram photofeatured Stamos standing with theFull Housecast — Mary-Kate, Ashley, Sweetin, Coulier, Cameron Bure, andScott Weinger. In addition to the show’s actors,Full Housecreator Jeff Franklin was also present.
“Happy Birthday Bob. This was taken as we gathered for his funeral,” the caption began.
“Though Bob wasn’t there physically, his spirit was unmistakably present, wrapping us in warmth and shared memories that drew both laughter and tears,” 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,” Stamos explained.
He added, “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.”

Full Houseaired from 1987 until 1995 and grew to become a smash hit. In 2016, Netflix launched a reboot, calledFuller House,which Bure, Sweetin and Barber returned for, and it lasted until 2020 when it ended after five seasons. In 2023, Sweetin and Barber launched a rewatch podcast calledHow Rude, Tanneritos!,where they share memories and behind-the-scenes secrets from the show.
“Full Housewas our childhood for eight years, eight very formative years,” Barber told PEOPLE at the time. “And so getting to relive those memories, things that we haven’t thought about in 35 years, I expect it’s going to deepen our bond even more than it already is."
On one episode in June, they opened up about how they stayed professional on set given the fact that everyone was like family.
“We would make each other laugh,” Sweetin said. “We would have these stupid bits between Stephanie and Kimmy that we’d have to do — particularly inFuller House. The forehead is a great place to look when you’re trying to keep it together.”
“That’s a good trick,” Barber agreed.
Coulier, who played Uncle Joey, also has aFull Houserewatch podcast, which launched around the same time as his former castmates' calledFull House Rewind.For the first episode in July 2023, Coulier sat down with creatorJeff Franklintolook back at the beginning of the series.
“I remembered our first table read,” Coulier began when Franklin added, “Where there’s a room full of studio and network executives. They were all there to see Stamos, I think.”

Before they knew it, Franklin joked that Sweetin “stole the whole thing.”
Coulier then recalled, laughing about Stamos (who played fan heartthrob Uncle Jesse): “And I remember walking out with John. He’s like, ‘The whole show is going to be her. We can’t do this!”
Eventually, the two joked that Stamos learned to work alongside “these really funny kids,” who intimidated him at first.
