John Stamos continues to remember his late friend Bob Saget, almost two years after his death.
The Full House star, 60, posted a photo of several cast members from the series, including Saget, as they posed on the steps of the San Francisco home featured in the comedy.
“One of the last photos of all of us in San Fran in front of the iconic Painted Lady,” Stamos captioned the photo, which featured him, Saget, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber.
Stamos played Jesse Katsopolis on the ABC series from 1987 to 1995, and on the Netflix reboot Fuller House from 2016 to 2020 alongside Saget, who played Danny Tanner.
Saget was found dead in his bed in a Ritz-Carlton hotel room in Orlando, Florida, at the age of 65 on January 9, 2022, the evening after performing a two-hour show at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Jacksonville.

Stamos, pictured at the LA premiere of Wonka earlier this month, has continued to share memories and memories of his late friend in the two years since his death.
A medical examiner's report stated that Saget's death was the result of an accidental blow to the head, likely from falling backwards.
Stamos and several members of the Full House cast, including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, attended a private funeral held for Saget on January 14, 2022, in Los Angeles.
The Cypress, California, native opened up about how he learned of Saget's death nearly two years ago in his new memoir If You Would Have Told Me.
The Emmy-nominated actor said he had been driving in Los Angeles when his publicist Matt Polk asked him if he had spoken to Saget, and told him that TMZ had contacted him with reports of Saget's death.
The Big Shot star said he was skeptical at first, but his concerns increased after he couldn't get a hold of Saget or Saget's wife Kelly Rizzo.
He then started receiving text messages from Cameron Bure about a DM she received claiming Saget had died.
Stamos said he discovered the tragic truth when Rizzo called him back moments later.
He wrote: “When I transfer callers to Kelly, all I hear is a wailing scream. I hit the ground in the parking lot and my knees hit the asphalt. “Nooooooooooooooooo.”

Stamos said he called his wife Caitlin McHugh with the sad news and then contacted other castmates to confirm the news, including Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin.
Stamos said he left a message for Coulier saying, “Dave, Bob Saget is dead.”
Stamos wrote, “I'm not sure why I have to use his last name. Dave knows I'm not calling to tell him Bob Hope has passed away. I call Lori, who is playing golf with her husband on the eighth hole at LakeView Country Club. “Bob's dead, Lori.” She tells me later that she fell to her knees just like me.”
In his memoir, Stamos paid tribute to Saget's immense talents as an entertainer, citing his career as a comedian, actor and host of America's Funniest Home Videos.
“He is America's favorite dad to a generation of children,” Stamos said. “Before YouTube, he was the guy who criticized your family's grainy VHS videos.
'For the aristocrats among us, he is the dirtiest comedian of all time. He had read the corniest copy with devilish intelligence and told the most salacious story with purity.'
Stamos wrote that “it is impossible to capture the spirit of someone who belongs to everyone,” and while he “has no exclusive rights… the loss is personal, painful and unbelievable.”
Stamos said his responsibilities to his wife McHugh and their five-year-old son Billy provided a stabilizing force amid the emotionally devastating loss of his friend.

“In the past, feeling stripped of someone I loved made me want to join them,” he said in his memoir. 'I would never try to overdose or blow my brains out, but I have a history of wanting that bad feeling of emptiness to go away quickly.
'Not this time. No drugs, no booze, no bulls***. I have to be here for my wife and my child.'
Stamos said in the book that he is “still not ready to accept” Saget's death, nor is he sure he “ever will be.”
He added: “I try to imagine him still on the road doing what he loves. He stands on stage and kills. Another two hour set for a few hundred of the happiest people in the world. They laugh so hard they cry.
'And just as they catch their breath, he picks up his guitar and starts off with one of his musical closing songs. There's an encore, and another, and another. Everyone wants an encore with Bob.'
