I know that people lose loved ones, good people, every day. Nobody receives a pass. But the loss of Bob Saget hits deeply. If you didn’t know him, he was kind and loved and cared deeply for people. He was the definition of “a good egg.” Too soon it goes away. #RipBobSaget

Surprised to hear that Bob Saget has passed away. Such an important figure to so many who came of age in the 90’s and 00’s. I didn’t know Bob well, but he was such a kind and generous person in my interactions with him.
