Alex Manoogian was a relatively obscure philanthropist. He was also an inventor, and back in the mid fifties, he perfected a single handled faucet design that was the precursor to our modern shower, bath sink and bar faucets. You might find this grave a bit hard to visit, however, unless you enjoy (and can afford) world travel. He is buried in the Etchmiadzin Cathedral in the town of Yerevan, Armenia. Visit it? I can’t even SAY it!
