In 1916, he had a reputation as a first-class cook and was well-known throughout the Klondike. He left many friends who regretted his death. Funeral costs were paid by Arthur Yamaguchi and his pallbearers were G. Omura, Frank Oshitake, S Suzuki, Frank Murata, and S. Sakata. His grave in the Hillside Public Cemetery is a grey granite marker.((//Dawson Daily News// (Dawson), 8 June 1916 in Ed and Star Jones, “Asians in Yukon.” Santa Fe, New Mexico, Unpublished manuscript, June 2010.))
