Dave Coulier couldn’t be more thankful for his sobriety. The "Full House" star recently opened up about how sobriety helped him cope with the loss of his close friend Bob Saget as well as his brother Dan and father Dave. "I definitely went through the sorrow hat trick, so to speak," the 62-year-old shared in a clip obtained by People magazine ahead of Monday’s episode of "Tamron Hall." "My brother took his own life, and he was actually the funniest person I’ve ever known," the star shared. "My brother, Dan.

I was the one who found him at my dad’s house down in the basement. A part of me died that day as well, because I really loved my brother."

"And people would laugh at that knowing I was sober.

And then my father passed away a couple of months ago, and I got to say all of the things that a son could say to his father about how proud I was." Coulier also revealed that his last conversation with his "Full House" co-star took place the day Saget died.

Saget died in January at age 65 due to head trauma. "He was texting me and making me laugh, and we were texting back and forth and making each other laugh very, very hard," Coulier recalled. "The last thing I said to him was, ‘Have a great show tonight.’ That was my last connection with Bob." The cast of "Full House" circa 1989.
