ExecuStay's San Diego corporate apartments are surrounded by the miles of beaches, coastal charm and a sophisticated urban landscape - making working and relaxing simple.
Some made money. One saved the world with science. Two were lost tormented minds. Every city has native sons and daughters who either did well or went out in infamy.
Crime Related Infamy
ANDREW CUNANAN (1969-1997) is buried in the mausoleum section of
Cunanan
Holy Cross Cemetery (4470 Hilltop Drive). He has the distinction of being the first person from San Diego to be placed on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list after killing five people, including Gianni Versace. The former gay gigolo used to wait tables at California Cuisine in Hillcrest. As authorities began to close in on him in Florida, Cunanan shot himself to death on a houseboat. Interestingly, Cunanan's existence is sometimes denied by Holy Cross's staff and site is unlisted in the 'directory.' Some other celebrity burial sites have stated that his tomb is unmarked. This is not true - we have seen it and we have taken a picture to prove it.
DAN BRODERICK (1944-1989) and LINDA BRODERICK (1961-1989)
Dan & Linda
Broderick
are buried at Greenwood Memorial Park (4300 Imperial Avenue).
The couple was murdered as they slept in their bed by Dan's ex-wife BETTY BRODERICK. The murder and the subsequent trial were covered extensively by the national news. Betty is currently serving out her prison term at the Central California Women's Facility at Chowchilla. Prisoner Number W42477 is eligible for her first parole in 2011.
The Actor
VICTOR BUONO (1938-1982) can also be found at Greenwood Memorial Park (4300 Imperial Avenue). Mr. Buono was a local actor who made it from acting at his all-boys high school (St. Augustine's), to the Old Globe Theatre, to network TV. The portly actor appeared in many TV shows and assorted movies from the 1960's-70's. He is best known for playing "Bongo Benny" on 77 Sunset Strip, King Tut on the Batman TV series and Edwin Flagg in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962). Mr. Buono died of a heart attack at his ranch in Apple Valley.
The Boxer
ARCHIE MOORE (1913-1998)
Archie Moore
is buried at Cypress View Mausoleum and Crematory (3953 Imperial Avenue). Nicknamed "The Old Mongoose," Mr. Moore held the Light Heavyweight title for 11 of the 27 years he boxed. He retired in 1963 with a final record of 181 wins, 24 losses, 9 draws, and a single no contest. In later years, he established a local sporting program for underprivileged kids called "Any Boy Can." He maintained a home in Southeastern San Diego with a distinctive pool - it was shaped liked a boxing glove. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. Mr. Moore died of heart failure.
