Candace Cameron Bure Shared A Touching Tribute To Her Father-In-Law

The Fuller House star took to Instagram to share a few kind words about Vladimir.

“Our hearts are broken as we grieve the loss of Val’s dad Vladimir Bure. I loved this man so very much. To me, he represented not only the gift of life (my husband) that I am forever grateful for but one of strength, dedication, motivation, resilience, willpower, and love. In my mind, he was the epitome of each of those words, a little bit superhuman in some way,” she wrote.

Her father-in-law was a decorated athlete and took his fitness seriously.

“Vladimir was a 4x Olympic medalist in swimming and a 2x Stanley Cup winning coach for the New Jersey Devils. He was a proud father, grandfather, husband, and dedicated coach. Most of all, I know how much he loved his family. Thank you for praying for all of the Bure family as we grieve. We love you Vladimir and you’ll forever be in our hearts,” she added.

Fans shared love with the family.

“Oh no… I’m so sorry. A father leaves a special void,” someone wrote.

“Prayers for Val and your family. The loss of a parent no matter the age is difficult. Praying for peace and comfort for you all as you grieve. But also giving thanks for the joy that comes in sharing fond and wonderful memories together that brings healing. Sending lots of love sweet friend,” a fan prayed.

“Sending so much love, what a legacy, what a beautiful family he created.”
