Missing his friend. John Mayer shared a heartfelt tribute after Bob Saget died at the age of 65.

In May 2018, the Grammy winner honored his pal with a special birthday tribute.
“Happy Birthday to my dear friend @bobsaget,” the Connecticut native wrote in a Facebook post alongside a black-and-white photo of Saget. “Here’s some things
