I knew William when were in Boot Training with the US navy at Greenbay Wisc. and had visited with him once when I moved to Little Rock in 1975. I considered him as a good friend.

Jim: Your father was a wonderful man. I always enjoyed my.visits with him, especially when he would tell me some of his early electronics stories. I bought my first TV set and first refrigerator from his store. It was an honor to have known him.

Mr. McClanahan was a very generous man, I bought all of my appliances from him when I moved in my own place when I was 20 years old. He gave me an account and (TRUSTED) me to pay him; that I did. It was sad when McClanahan Electric closed....Even more sad, another one of our pillar of the community has left us. Jim you are in my prayers.
