His daughter Jeanne wrote, "After my father died I went to Guadalajara and buried him in Chapala where he lived at one time. All his Mexican friends were there and instead of putting him in an enormous Vet grave yard in LA where there would only be me to visit occasionally, I elected to leave him with his friends. I saw him very infrequently after my parents were divorced (when) I was 5...We went to the funeral, held in the cemetery in Chapala with all of his friends standing around and the military band played taps, all very old and all not very good. It was a beautiful day in Chapala and the cemetery was positively charming -- best funeral I ever attended." Cause of death was heart failure after a fall.
