Dr. Gus T. Spenos, memorable man of music and medicine, peacefully passed away in Indianapolis with loved ones at his side Sunday.

Gus was born in Indianapolis to Anastasia Marinos Spenos and Thomas G. Spenos on June 22, 1952. He attended Indiana University Medical School, and then began a career as a neurologist, working at Major Hospital before founding Neurocare in Shelbyville with his wife, Nora.

His love of medicine was matched by his love of music. Gus played many instruments, recorded a number of albums, and performed to packed audiences as the leader of The Gust Spenos Quartet. His artistic flair extended to his closet, as Gus was always the best-dressed man in the room.

An eternal student, Gus dedicated time to expanding his knowledge, often picking up new instruments, or studying the Greek language, architecture, physics, and history. In his later years, Gus deepend his faith and began visiting Mount Athos in Greece, where he assisted the monks in the development of a health care clinic.

While his creative and professional endeavors defined Gus as an unforgettable, larger than life local figure, it was his family and his marriage which were his greatest works of art. He loved his wife, Nora, immensely. Together they built a business and a family, and would have celebrated 40 years married this fall.

Their three children, Anastasia, Miles and Aris, have all inherited Gus’s artistic genes and passion for life.
