Irvine was born at Wolfe Island, Ontario. He married Doris Seeley in 1937, and moved to Lambeth, London, Ontario in 1950.^[5] He entered municipal politics in 1959, becoming an alderman for the London, Ontario city government.^[4]

Irvine left local politics in 1963^[3] and was elected to the House of Commons at the London riding in the 1963 general election, then re-elected there in the 1965. After electoral district boundary changes in the late 1960s, Irvine campaigned at London West for the 1968 federal election but lost to Judd Buchanan of the Liberal party.

Irvine died at a nursing home in Simcoe, Ontario in July 1996.^[4]
