Clarence McCants Obituary

Working for Clarence Don't Turn Nobody Down McCants was the greatest experience

in memoryam

Clarence knew me as Louis Holman or Lou. He hired me to work at Metropolitan when I was a junior in high school and I worked with him throughout my college years during the summer months. He taught me how to be a great worker, how to get a job accomplished and not do a half done job. How to complete a task. How to search for the answer without calling someone else to help you unless it was absolutely necessary. He would always tell me "boy stop playing we got work to do". He was a black man who was in charge and he was the boss. That impressed me so much that I still carryout those principles today. May God be pleased with him and my love for him will live on in me till I cross that same road. Thanks Clarence and family. Peace be unto you.

Cynthia and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I didn't know him but I sure remember his commercials for Metropolitan Furniture on AM radio! He was a part of Charleston history! My condolences to the family. He will be missed!

Continuing to pray for the family.

Mr. MCcants will always be remembered for the saying Don't turn nobody down. It is a part of my family's history,along with Dedex,and Edwards five and ten.
"REST IN PEACE "

So sorry for your loss -

My heartfelt condolences to the McCants Family. As with many Charlestonians who may not have met or personally knew Mr McCants; we all knew Mr. McCants. He was Charleston. Anyone who grew up in Charleston in the 60s thru the 90s knows Mr McCants. God Bless You and Thank You!!

Remember Clarence's commercials well. Prayers for his loved ones.

So sorry for the loss. The family will be in our prayers. Yvonne Wright-Scott

I love his commercials and visiting his store. God bless the family through this loss. He will be missed!!

Sorry about your lost. But god love him best. Have my deepest sympathy.

I didn't know him but I remember all his commercials. We have lost a Charleston icon. Much sympathy and prayers for his family. He seemed like such a wonderful man!

The McCants were my neighbors on Pitt Street in the 1970's. They were the cutest, nicest, most out-going folks. I smiled when I saw his name this morning. I had often wondered how he has done all these years. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of this nice man.

To the Family of the late Mr. Clarence McCants, I extend my condolences upon having heard of the loss of your loved one. A number of us throughout The Lowcountry can recall the tag line "Don't Turn Nobody Down" when he appeared in television advertisements, and being that he was also such a pillar of the community. There is consolation in knowing that he is resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
Mr. McCants will be sorely missed.

Helen and the McCants Family, So sorry to hear about your loss. God saw that he was getting tired and called him home. You all are in our prayers. With Deepest Sympathy.
