DEDICATION FRANK SIRACUSE - TONY SCHLITSEY MEMORIAL PLAQUE (the
Mr. Rochester Trophy) Frank Siracuse, one
of our original members and one of the strongest men in the world, died following a heart attack in 1979.
Frank wasa close friend and we miss him dearly. Tony Schlitscy died in
1993 from complications after a kidney transplant. Tony was a long time
gym member and was one of the finest amateur bodybuilding photographers in Rochester. He, too, is missed by all of us at
the gym. A plaque (also known as the Mr. Rochester trophy) bearing their
names and photos hangs in our gym, listing all of the previous Mr. Rochester
winners back to it's inception in 1952. This list is a who's who of Rochester bodybuilding:
