No one should have to suffer as Gay did, which is why I'm committed to finding a cure and a proud board member of the Scleroderma Research Foundation.'īob Saget death: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen call Full House co-star ‘most loving man’
My heart goes out to all who have lost a loved one to this disease. She lost her life to scleroderma when she was 47. In an Instagram post shared by the SRF early on January 9, Bob wrote, 'Today would have been my sister Gay's 75th birthday. However, after she died, the 'Full House' actor made it one of his 'life's missions' to raise money and research for the foundation. Bob was already involved with the Scleroderma Research Foundation (SRF) before his sister was diagnosed with the disease. While Bob lost Gay to autoimmune disease when she was 47, he lost his older sister Andrea due to a brain aneurism at the age of 35 in 1985.
Gay Saget, the former school teacher from Philadelphia, died years ago, following her scleroderma diagnosis. Incidentally, it was also Saget's late sister Gay's 75th birth anniversary. Legendary TV comedian Bob Saget was found dead at 65 in his room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, January 9.
