John Stamos is missing his friend's hand to hold on for this special day.
The Full House alum celebrated what would have been Bob Saget's 70th birthday, sharing sweet memories from their decades-long friendship, including the last photo they took together.
John's May 17 Instagram tribute featured the final shot with himself, his wife Caitlin McHugh, Bob and his widow Kelly Rizzo posing during an evening out for dinner by the ocean. He wrote "Last Pic" over the memory.
"We used to throw each other great birthday parties," the 62-year-old—who starred as Uncle Jesse opposite Bob's Danny Tanner in the ABC sitcom from 1987 to 1995—captioned the post. "Your 70th today would've been epic! I miss you and love you."
John also included a video of his close friend singing, a selfie of the pair during an outing, Bob playing the drums, them posing with Rihanna, Bob bowling in a robe and the two performing onstage together.
The Grandfathered actor previously shared a glimpse into their peaceful evening, which would eventually become their final night together before Bob, 65, died from a fall that caused blunt head trauma at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Fla. in January 2022.
"That was the last night that I saw him," he explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October 2023. "You go to dinner and you never think it's going to be the last time you see them."
"He was everything that I wanted Bob to be," John recalled. "He was calm and he listened and he was so sweet. We were there with these two girls and we looked at each other like, 'God. What did we do to get these beautiful wives?' It was just such a beautiful night."

The Secrets of Eden star emphasized that losing a loved one often reprioritizes what really matters.
"You're always in a hurry in life, I've got to go do this, I've got to do fo that," he said. "When something like that happens, you want to remember everything. What did we eat? What did we do? We ordered some cake and had some coffee. We stayed longer than we normally would have."
John shared a gentle reminder with the viewers, adding, "If you have the chance, if you're with someone you love, someone you care about: Stay a little longer."

"I'm speechless," Dennings wrote on Instagram. "Bob Saget was the best. So kind. I was his TV daughter for one season and he was generous, protective, caring and wonderful. He talked about his kids constantly. Rest In Peace."

"I did it immediately because I read it and it was a love letter. It was a relationship show," he said. "And it's been an amazing thing that I forget, people say, 'I love your show.' I say, 'Well, it's their show 'cause they're the most talented actors that made this happen.'"
