SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A memorial continued to grow Monday morning outside the Broderick Street Victorian that was used as a backdrop for the 80s sitcom ‘Full House’ in the wake of the weekend death of comedian Bob Saget.

The 65-year-old Saget, who played the beloved single dad Danny Tanner on the show and was the wisecracking host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” was found dead Sunday in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando while on a stand up tour.

He was in Florida as part of his “I Don’t Do Negative Comedy Tour.” After warm audience receptions to his gigs Friday in Orlando and Saturday in the Ponte Vedra Beach resort area, he celebrated online.

SAN FRANCISCO — Hundreds of protesters descended on Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco Thursday to loudly condemn the Russian war on Ukraine, including a number of Ukrainians showing support for their countrymen and anger at Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Upset, worried, troubled. We still have family out there,” said Paulina Fayer, originally from Odessa. “Extended family out there, mostly in Odessa. We have friends in Kiev, but they’re everywhere now.”

Her father, Leon, didn’t sleep at all last night. He had called distant relatives two weeks ago and told them to come to California just in case. They refused.

“Nobody can understand, even over there what is going on, you know?” said Leon Fayerbuerg. “Nobody expected anything could happen something like this between Russia and Ukraine. They’ve always been neighbors.”

Maksym Zubkob was watching Putin’s speech last night and immediately called his family in Odessa when he heard the words “military action.”

“So, I stopped watching the video right away and I called my family,” Zubkob said. “It was around 5 am there and I told them that war is coming – so can you please be awake? Make sure that you have a phone connection because I was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to contact them.”

It wasn’t just Ukrainians but Russians who showed up at Civic Center to protest the invasion.

“It’s obviously the wrong thing to do,” said Ilya Razenshtyan. “I don’t believe that many Russians actually support it. It obviously shouldn’t have happened.”

Just Answers CEO Andy Kurtzig has more than 270 employees in Ukraine. His company has spent weeks buying satellite phones and new ISPs — as well as moving people and their families from the east of Ukraine to the west near the Polish border — in the hopes of keeping them safe.

“Their lives are in danger right now,” Kurtzig said.

Kurtzig’s head of global operations lives a kilometer away from the airport in Lviv.

“She lives in a two-story home near the airport, they’re staying off the second story,” he said. “They’ve taken the bathroom and they’ve boarded up the walls and they are basically barricading themselves in and that’s their safe space in case the sirens come back on again.”

Fans gathered Sunday night, leaving flowers and taking cellphone photos of the home in Lower Pacific Heights that has been a favorite stop for tourists ever since the sitcom aired in the late 80s and early 90s.

Among those who gathered was Scott Lucas.

“It sort of touched everybody in my generation,” he said. “My siblings, my cousins, all of my friends growing up. I’m from Southern California, I think it sort of raised a generation throughout the country…I think it (the sitcom) had a big impact on people as children.”
