“Dave Coulier” A name synonymous with laughter and light hearted comedy, has been diagnosed with stage three non-hodgkin lymphoma cancer. Coulier is also known as “Joey Gladstone” on the iconic TV show ” Full house” and its newer “Fuller House”. Coulier has left such a remarkable footprint with all the laughter he shared with the world.
Born on September 21, 1959 in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, Coulier’s jorny into comedy began at a young age. His impressions and funny voices lead him to a pursuing career in stand-up-comedy,, Couliers big break came in the late 1980’s where he got on the cast of “Full House” as Joey Gladstone, the lovable, goofy, impressionable comedian on “Full House.” The show which was aired in 1987 to 1995, became a remarkable remembrance. Coulier became a fan favorite very quickly.
“Very sad how bright and joyful he was knowing he was diagnosed with stage three cancer. My prayers move towards him and his future making sure everything is okay. Hoping he gets good help, and makes it through okay.” Says Audrey Spragg.
Most recently John Stamos, also known as “Jesse Katsopolis” on “Full House.” Stamos did this out of respect and compassion for Coulier.
“Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro, “ Stamos says.
After a post made with Stamos having the blad cap on, there were many negative comments being posted under the comment section of that post. Coulier was very disappointed with this being his start of the journey.
People commenting saing, “What a shallow gesture! Couldn’t even cut your hair off for your friend. And you made sure to post it on Instagram to get those likes too” or even “What a “real” friend.” A lot of disrespect towards Stamos as he tried to make a sweet gesture.
Joey Gladstone was the funny man, always ready with a joke, a silly voice, or a heartwarming piece of evidence of advice. His catchphrase like “Cut. It. Out!” accompanied by his signature hand gestures, became iconic. Couliers ability to bring humor and warmth to the character made Joey a beloved part of the Tanner family and endeared him to millions of viewers.
Although stage three cancer is tricky, this is very treatable and we are hoping for a great outcome. Coulier is not the first with cancer in his family.
Coulier quotes, “When I lost my sister, Sharon, my mother, Arlen, and my niece, Shannon to cancer we tried to stay positive and we made each other laugh through the worst of it. I’m choosing to spread the word about early cancer detection to hepl people. That’s just who I am.”
It starts to sound as if cancer is well known for being passed down in his family. Fighting with every minute that’s being spent, not knowing what could happen next. Although with all of the love, support, and positive comments it sounds like he will make it through.
