Biographical or Historical Data
Constantine Andrew “Gus” Kanelos was born in Sacramento, California, on November 6, 1928, to a family that owned a ranch and the Kanelos Bros. Wholesale butcher shop, both located in the Florin area of Sacramento County. With Greek father and Italian mother, Kanelos entered Florin West Elementary School speaking both languages but with little knowledge of English. In time. Kanelos went on to attend Elk Grove Union High School, Sacramento Junior College, and Grant Technical College and then enjoyed a long career as a teamster and union shop steward/arbitrator within the trucking industry. Kanelos’ civic life included a run as president of the Florin Elementary School PTA and American Portuguese Club, plus his founding of both the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, Lodge 2577 and Florin Historical Society. His affinity for veterans manifested itself through Kanelos’ role as a veterans advocate, legislative lobbyist and founder of the Unaffiliated Veterans Advocate Coalition.
