And while Saget is being praised as a gifted comedian (who never shied from a dirty joke), a loving family man (to three daughters), the kindest of colleagues (generous with time and advice), his work for SRF in search of a scleroderma cure is never far behind.īy all accounts, Gay’s battle with scleroderma was brutal. Tributes are pouring in from far and wide, posted by Hollywood friends and collaborators and by countless fans that enjoyed his work on everything from Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos to the stand-up stage. It’s an emotion shared by so many over the past 24 hours. “To see such a relatively young man, so vibrant and with such a huge heart, leave now right in the middle of the power of what he could do … I don’t have words for it. “I still feel like I will wake up tomorrow and Bob will be there,” explains Evnin, who, in his day job, is a well-known venture capital investor serving as managing director and co-founder of MPM Capital. The fact that Saget, who died yesterday in Florida at age 65, won’t be around for either a cure or for that celebratory conversation is something Evnin can’t fathom.
