I just really think it’s something incredibly special that, like, won’t ever be replicated; I don’t think. I really truly feel like this is a special group of People.” 

The nonprofit Scleroderma Research Foundation created the Bob Saget Legacy Award in 2023 in memory of Saget, People reports. They noted that the late star was a “longtime supporter and board member of the foundation.” For Stamos, receiving the award was an incredible honor. 

“Well, it makes me sad that he’s not here giving it to me. But it’s, you know, it’s an honor,” Stamos told the publication. “Whatever few awards or things that I’ve received over the years, it’s just the most important to me. Especially to carry on.”

“Bob left this behind,” he shared. “Sure, there’s television, sitcoms and reruns and whatever. But this is a legacy. This is something to leave behind. And I just want to really acknowledge that.”

This isn’t the first time Stamos has spoken about how Saget lives on, and in an interview with People on October 14, he said that his late friend and former co-star is “living through” his 8-year-old son Billy. 

“I’ll tell you, he is really living through my son,” he said. “You know, I’m always looking for signs. Billy, my son, and I wrote a children’s book that’s coming out about hummingbirds. It’s about spirits from the past coming back. But I swear to God, I see Bob and my son now all the time.”

Stamos continued, “He’s got toilet Tourette’s. Today he came home and said, ‘Mom, Dad, poop. That’s Bob.’ So Bob is making me laugh through my son, which is really special.”
