"During dinner, he got a mosquito bite and kept scratching it until it bled," she recalled. "Four different restaurant workers frantically got him a Band-Aid when he approached the front desk. It was as if they were performing surgery. He came back to the table with this little Band-Aid, and we both laughed because it was so silly."
Candace Cameron Bure shared her own tribute video, captioning it, "Happy birthday Bob ❤️❤️❤️🕊️." Rizzo responded, "This is so beautiful, Candace ❤️."
Andrea Barber also posted a sweet video tribute, writing, "Happy heavenly birthday, Bob. Love you. 🕊️."
