“I’m so so sorry, my darling friend. Too much heartbreak for all of you this year. Xoxo,” wrote Marilu Henner, who competed on DWTS season 23.
“2022 sucks. We need to wrap Dave in bubble wrap. Love you so much, sweet dear friend,” added Bure’s “Full House” co-star Andrea Barber.

Barber Penned a Tribute in Honor of Arnold
In addition to Bure’s Instagram post, her “Full House” co-star and longtime friend Barber also shared her fondness for Arnold.
“The last time I spoke with David was a week ago on the set of That Girl Lay Lay. We talked about his daughter, Anna Grace, who was absolutely rocking her first prominent storyline as her character, Gigi. I told David how impressed I was with her comedic timing, her unwavering confidence, and her uncanny ability to imitate his way of speaking. His face immediately softened, a slow smile spreading across his face, the absolute pride glistening in his eyes. I’ll never forget that look. If you know David, you know that he loved his beautiful wife Julie and his sweet daughters Anna Grace and Ashlyn more than anything else on earth,” she wrote.
Barber encouraged her followers to check out Arnold’s Netflix comedy special and said that he “put so much goodness into the world.”
“We lost a legend yesterday. David, I love and miss you. Give Bob and my mom a hug for me,” she wrote.
