Frank Avruch, best known for playing Bozo the Clown, died on Tuesday following a battle with heart disease. He was 89.

Avruch portrayed the iconic clown from 1959 through 1970. He was the first to be nationally syndicated by way of the Boston-based program Bozo’s Big Top, which aired in New York, Los Angeles and Washington D.C., among other select markets. He was also a UNICEF ambassador, and performed in character at events across the globe.

In addition to his work as Bozo, Avruch was a well-known Boston TV personality, having spent most of his career at local station WCVB-TV.

My brother, sister and I went on the Bozo show twice. It seems lame now but back then we had the time of our lives. Frank Avruch was very well known apart from being Bozo. It was hard to believe that this erudite gentleman was the same person. By all accounts he was a very nice man.

Thinking back to the late-50s, early-60s, I'd have loved to go to a real, live show with Bozo the Clown. :thumb We just didn't have all the avenues of "entertainment" back then that are available to children today, from birth. :ohno . . . Yes, I do think we were basically better off than kids born since the late 90s.

From what I've read, Frank Avruch was probably a pillar of the community. May he RIP.
