Officer Constantine George "Gus" Spanos

I am not an officer but was married at the time to a male dispatcher. I was heartbroken when I heard what had transpired there on the corner of Cincinnati. I had to go to Gilcrease for school and my future husband was later a dispatcher. All I could see then and now is me being forgotten by the ride my mother set up and looking out and seeing him being shot. No! It couldn’t have happened that way but my fear of being alone with no ride hits me hard. I was able to use an office phone to call my mother but waited forever it seemed for a ride. Way past dark. I know that area well and feel so much dismay and heartache that he was alone to die. Yes I was at his funeral and made my husband then go with me cuz it was the only right thing to do. I’m still so saddened by this and feel at times I can see him going thru the motions and a gunshot hitting him in the head and I still cry. I never knew him but it breaks my heart for him to have been in wrong place/wrong time. I wish I
Had been waiting for my ride so I could pray with
Him! I’m so sad still for
His unusual loss of life!!!! Haunts Me cuz I hated that corner just waiting for the ride that left me in dark. (Btw….thank u custodian for letting me in to call my horrible mother figure. )
