Al Ross Shrine Clown — Pen & Ink Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

Al Ross was a beloved member of the Shrine Clown unit, who dedicated his life to bringing joy and laughter to children and adults alike. He often said, “A clown is an angel with a red nose.” His motto reflected his generous spirit and his passion for clowning. He will be greatly missed by his fellow clowns and by the community he served. — By J.T. “Bubba” Sylles

Gene Irvin captured Al in his signature fine pen & ink style — a warm tribute portrait honoring a life spent in service and laughter. Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, this piece is part of Gene’s clown series: artwork made to make people smile when they needed it most.
