Honoring him in their own way. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen honored their former TV father Bob Saget at a “punk rock shiva” held by several of the late comedian’s friends and loved ones.“After Bob’s fancy funeral we threw him a small impromptu punk rock shiva upstairs at the @thecomedystore,” comedian Jeff Ross wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 30, sharing photos from the event, which was attended by John Mayer, Marc Maron and more.

The gathering was a non-traditional way of honoring Saget — who was Jewish — through the custom of “sitting shiva,” which is generally a week-long period where the deceased’s loved ones remember them and comfort one another.In one black-and-white snap, Saget’s former Full House costars John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin posed together, while another pic showed the Olsens, both 35, dancing alongside Saget’s daughters Aubrey, 35, and Lara, 32.“We laughed and cried for four hours,” Ross, 56, wrote alongside the uploads, adding that he was planning to host another event on Monday, January 31, “for his friends and family.” The comedian then asked that fans donate to the Scleroderma Research Foundation, a favorite charity of Saget’s, in his honor.“If Bob ever made you smile and you have it in your heart or wallet please donate,” Ross concluded. “It’s a terrible disease that mostly affects women.

Finding a cure is a mission that meant a lot to Bob personally.”Saget died in Orlando, Florida on January 9 at the age of 65.

He was laid to rest less than one week later during an emotional funeral attended by his family, friends and several Full House costars. “There were lots of tears, of course, but so much laughter too.
