LC Nunley And Bret let me compliment you on bringing him back alive here In this place today Um… Had it not been for Clifford I don’t know whether I would have had a place to stay in San Francisco I ran into some real interesting experiences trying to get a room in San Francisco Clifford and I tried together That’s why we stayed together even after he left Hastings and went to Lincoln We remained room mates for the additional two years But I would let him talk when we were trying to get a room I guess we must have tried a hundred times in San Francisco to get a room And we were probably denied a hundred times And because he spoke we did get a room

Day Nooning 03:34
Basalonious Funk Mr. Sweet. Belated happy birthday youngster That’s about it Bas wizzle Man I feel you Bret Should have been born in a chalk outline I got so much trouble on my mind A public enemy The day my birth certificate was signed Living life confined to a guide line of rules on scrupulous School of hard knocks has never been pupilous You wanna talk heart ache? Heart break? Since we dealin with real talk, I’ll talk about the family I hate And the mother I can’t wait For an over due fate And how I’m a 40 year old black man with all this shit on my plate Suppose this song might scrape the surface To elevate one’s mind state circumstances and purpose But wait….. Seems that I deviated from the topic at hand I’m life everyday like Ponzi scheme Fucked off from a 401K plan Executive I know the world is against me just never thought it fam Damn My uncle was a man who built his home literally and actually with his hands He worked graveyard shift because he truly loved his fam So all the kids at one point stayed with him and my aunt But when it came to me I was the nga she never truly want I was six years old in age A youngster in rage Expelled from the school district Socked the teacher in her rib cage Phone call was made To have me removed from mom I came home was given my belongings then told Nga…..get the fuck on Took in by this uncle So began the kinship friendship for two and half years my aunt was where this would end with Her and her daughter despised a nga a lot I was scared I’d go to sleep each night I’d hear them bitches plot Psychological warfare I’m placed in place where every day these women were trying to literally erase A nga of the face of this planet I’m telling ya straight! I was fucked from the gate! The irony of this tale Has a twist of fate Sit back chill…….maybe you’d relate I been gone for four years Now this uncle lost weight Due to his pancreatic cancer state I accompanied to him when he received the official prognosis Told about the seven months he had to live Tear drops from eyes, I take notice The disease did him in ferocious I was his personal care giver when no one else was there to give the The baths that he needed or clean his urine from him He barely had strength to stand He knew his end was coming So these women were there to watch as I proceeded to put talk to action With compassion As each breath he breathed he was graspin Gaspin Tragic ain’t it And these women couldn’t imagine that this would happen After doing me so wrong That now I’m the only one that it could truly be counted on

James Sweet I was really happy to hear that aspect of Clifford come out because he loved me and loved him. He would follow me anyplace. We used to go out on our Louis and Clark expeditions – going out in those swamps. Going through the little ravines and creeks. We got lost and got loud then. That was the beautiful part about it. At that part I didn’t understand that Jupiter could be a paradise. I just thought “wow why not New York? Why not Chicago? Why not Los Angeles? Why we gotta be out here fightin these mosquitos, snakes and all other kinda things”. Anyway…. I am very pleased to know or hear from other people on their perspective of who Clifford Sweet was because I see in all the things they’re saying….just….(sigh)….my father all over again. Only he was not….I don’t…..well I heard that too…..he put a few head locks on people. (wisftful chuckle) But…but…but….he also had a beautiful side, my mother’s side, he could always bring you to his chest and love you after he already teared up your hide.

The Eulogy 06:18
Mr. Sweet Today, I intend to talk to you about the spiritual values of the Westers and the Sweets. When I speak, I speak for the Westers. When I speak, I speak for Sweets. As I considered this moment, I've come to realize that this is probably the letter, which you'd ask for instead of a eulogy. And I'd find myself left with a huge list of bullet points, and other than some bullet points I can't really articulate, what I just went through for thirty-three years. Other than to tell you that Clifford Sweet you are an experience. So, I am going to add some more bullet points to our list and they're just going to be about Clifford. If nothing else you are a talent magnet. You not only knew how to harness your own potential that you saw in people around you whether using accurate drives that white car or sitting on your own front porch reading the newspaper people knew where to find you right when it counted. You brought greatness, masters of their craft, you trusted them enough to help raise and benefactor your children. Now these same candidates you saw potential in, seek out talent of their own to develop. Every time you would do that, we find ourselves that much closer. When I think of you, I think of the word father who raised your own children, which you enjoy doing to. I’m told over and over again; take a pause before you say your words choose them correctly. As if you couldn’t believe you got so lucky. Well I have to tell you, Julian and Bret feel very much the same way about you don't mind this addition, as I look around, feeling very stunned how many men and women called you dad. I love Clifford Sweet far more than I love my own grief. To articulate what I love about you is to identify the energy, a principle, an aspect of humanity that we all know as Clifford Sweet. Between myself and this room assembled to honor you, how can I really say you're gone? Tomorrow is a new day and what will not be new is the aspects of all of us that look to find a winning combination of collaboration, and leadership and tactical thinking that are all towards one common good. What will remain is a host of three generations that realizes to practically take care of myself; we have to take care of our neighbors. Money in of itself cannot create the neighborhoods nor for our children. What will remain is a belief that we have time to be selflessly and ask ourselves when is my time to be that grown figure that shows up even when no one else will? The attendance and assistance at this event are a fit example of that. What will remain is a collection of one who is hilarious and taught stories about the man we all adore. I refuse to say goodbye not when I know you helped so many of us emulating these aspects that we love about you so dearly. There's no way I can stand here and consider you gone when your best work still lives in all of us. My passion draws up all your wisdom and understands that collectively, we are Clifford. Forever Clifford. You are the best I could expect to hope for in mankind. A potent, ethical man, who is the foundation of everything I am. The greatest teacher mentor and best friend I could ever asked for. I want to honor you for this gift you bestowed on me this last six years and I look forward to seeing you again because this is certainly not going to be the last time. Thank you very much to everyone for coming here today. My name is Bret Alexander Sweet and Clifford Charles Sweet is my father. Corwin: I may never know but I’d like to think that I finally saw what you are and I met someone that I like, someone I could trust and that was with you. I wish that I might have known you even better but I thank you for this much.
