Earlier Wednesday, Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, posted a video on Instagram showing the pair eating and drinking at different locales. "One month without this incredible man," she wrote. "Bob truly lived life to its fullest. He had so many hardships over the years that he would always tell me, 'Look, life is hard, we need to enjoy it as much as possible.' And one of the best ways we did that together was sharing and exploring amazing food around the world." She said experiencing these "simple pleasures" brought her late husband "so much joy. I can't even put into words how much I will miss this."
