I got to the house and was talking to the customer and he just kind of collapsed. With some quick thinking I was able to call 9-1-1 to get him some help. Sweeter had suffered a stroke and was taken to the hospital. He was rushed into surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. Sweeter’s wife, Cheryl Sweeter says she was working when her phone rang and instantly knew something wasn't right.
