Dave Spade looked to his Facebook page to pay tribute to the late Chris Farley on March 31. The 31st was the 20th anniversary of their comedy Tommy Boy.
Chris Farley died at the age of 33 of an accidental overdose in 1997.
On his Facebook fan page, the Grown Ups star shared a zoomed in picture of the Tommy Boy movie poster, along with a sentimental paragraph about Farley. The movie poster also features Farley's signature and a personal message to Spade.
I'm told that today is the 20th anniversary of Tommyboy. Aside from that making me older than fuck I have to say thanks...

The stars were best friends and starred on "Saturday Night Live" and in Black Sheep together.
Spade recently told "Rolling Stone" about all of the good times the two had together and how he misses Farley. He explained about one time when the two, and Adam Sandler, had hit on an attractive female who was getting into a cab near the "Saturday Night Live" studio.
"Chris ran over and climbed in the cab with her, and said, 'Hey, you goin' downtown? Let's share a cab!' and she started yelling at him and kicking him," Spade explained. "And he finally came back, and we said, 'Chris, if they don't know who you are, you are just a crazy fat guy trying to climb in a cab with them.' And then we all laughed, it was very funny to us. He would do stuff like that for us every day to make us laugh."
Though the two were best friends, Spade did not attend Farley's funeral.
