Virginian-Pilot, May 20, 1959
PORTSMOUTH - Arthur Harry Spensky, for most of his adult life a bail bondsman 
in Norfolk County, died unexpectedly Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Spensky was 64 years old.
He was almost a legend among the Norfolk County police and jailers.
He had a reputation for being incredibly available whenever someone needed his 
services during his more than 35 years as a bondsman.
During World War II, he was the only bondsman working at the Norfolk County 
office. He was at the jail day and night, frequently sleeping in his car, 
eating take-out orders of sandwiches.
Illness had curtailed his activity for a period but in recently months he had 
once again become nearly omnipresent at the jail.
Mr. Spensky is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ida Jacobson Spensky, of 118 Duke 
Drive, a daughter, Mrs. Doris Morrison, of Norfolk; two sons, Maury and 
Gilbert, both of Florida; three sisters, Mrs. Lena Saunders and Mrs. Fanny 
Haskell both of Norfolk, and Mrs. Ida Fivel, of Richmond; and four 
granddaughters. 
His body was taken to the Brennan Funeral Home.
