Resuscitation was applied and he was transported to the Monterey Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival at 9:30 a.m. An autopsy will determine the exact cause of death.

Mr. Sugano was a veteran of World War II, during which he earned the European-African-Middle East combat ribbon; the Good Conduct medal; Victory ribbon; and District Unit badge with oak leaf cluster. He was 12th district chaplain of the Nisei Memorial Post 1629, VFW of Monterey, a member of the “Cooties” honorary society; active in the Japanese-American Citizens League and El Estero Presbyterian Church of Monterey; and a member of the California National Guard Reserve. Surviving are: his wife, Kiyoko, two sons, Reginald and Brian Sugano, and a daughter, Paulette Sugano, all of Seaside.
