Harry is preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Janice Sweet, and stepson Gaylon Brown. He is survived by his sister, Mary (Sweet) Tosh of Houston; his stepson Bobby Sweet.. Weary of reading obituaries and noting someone's courageous battle with death, Harry wanted it known that, he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors' orders, and raising hell for more than seven decades. He enjoyed foods of all kinds, libations, being obstinate until the day he died. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the Temple Civic Theatre located at 2413 S. 13th St. in Temple, TX 76504 and Tablerock Amphitheater located Royal St. Salado, TX 76571. Arrangements are entrusted to Crotty Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Belton. To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Harry Clifford Sweet Jr. please visit our Sympathy Store.
