- Air Conditioning Service/RepairClyde MacDonald founded Mac’s Radiator in 1947 in a small wooden building on Foster road in SE Portland. In a short time Clyde (soon joined by his cousin Frank MacDonald) had outgrown the original building and built the first of many additions to the Foster location. The business was continuing to grow when the unexpected death of Clyde in 1962 brought his two sons Jim & Phil into the business. Phil, who had more experience in the business, took some time off from dental school to help out and teach Jim the business. In the coming years after Phil had returned to dental school, Jim continuing his father’s tradition of customer service and forward thinking expanded the business to service air conditioning systems and industrial radiator manufacturing. As the business grew so did the family; Jim had five children, who all of whom spent time “helping out” as they grew up. Lisa, the oldest daughter went off to become a schoolteacher, working summers throughout college. Steve joined the business full time after graduating high school, as did daughter Diana, and youngest son Curtis.
