Rizzo spoke out in a “Today” interview on Thursday and shed light on the type of man Saget was when the cameras weren’t around.
“It was still the same. He was there to just enjoy life. And he just wanted to make people feel good,” Rizzo explained. “I mean if we went to a restaurant, he would talk to all of the waiters, the waitresses. He knew all the hosts. Everybody knew him and loved him. And his constant message was just ‘treat everybody with kindness’ because he had gone through so much in his life, and he knew how hard life could be.”

“He put it all out there. He told everyone that he loved, and quite frankly, anyone that he met and spent any time with at all, he told them that he loved them endlessly and tirelessly,” Rizzo said. “That was his entire message. If you knew Bob and he loved you, you knew it. There was never any doubt in your mind.”
Saget was laid to rest during a private funeral on Friday, Jan. 14. The comedian was buried in Los Angeles surrounded by family and friends.
