"Sad news...another bodybuilding icon has moved on to a better place. Dennis Tinerino, 64, lost his year-long battle to cancer today. Dennis was born December 23, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York. He opened up Dennis Tinerino Ministries, based in Northridge, California, in 1979. God speed."
I did some checking, he was inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame in 2006 along with Sigmund Klein, Jule Bacon, Ron Love, and Claudio Wilbourn.
From his Hall of Fame Bio:
Tinerino’s first competition, while still in high school, was onstage at the RKO Movie Theater in New York – at the age of 16, he won the Mr. RKO Hercules title. In 1965, his victories included Mr. East Coast, Teen Mr. America, Jr. Mr. USA and Mr. North America. In 1967 he triumphed at the AAU Jr. Mr. America and the AAU Sr. Mr. America. He then crossed the pond to compete in the NABBA Universe in England, winning in 1968.
His IFBB pro contest history contained a bittersweet moment when he was declared the winner of the Pro Universe in 1975, only to be disqualified later when officials realized he was supposedly on suspension from entering IFBB events. Ironically, his only IFBB pro win would be that same title in 1981. He retired after placing 14th in the 1982 Mr. Olympia.
