I have just learned of E.O.'s passing. He was a fun part of our big group at Tech. We all have such fond memories of our times there and E.O. was always part of those memories. To his children and wife, my deepest sympathy. He will always be remembered by us Techies!

A great teammate on the HotSpurs who was interesting and funny every single day. We had some fun no doubt and I still remember many shenanigans he led. Quite a character and we loved him.

...my condolences to the family of Edward Osborne Whealler.
E O was a teammate and friend of mine at Tech. He loved GT and took great pride in kicking for the Jackets. Everyone remembers EO's ability to kick the long field goals, however, I remember his long booming punts. It seemed like he averaged 50 yards/punt, but more importantly, his hang time was uncanny and resulted in very few returns. EO was a character and I'm sure all of us that played with him will never forget him.

My best friend, my teammate and my partner in shenanigans too numerous to relate. E.O. was one of a kind and his passing leaves a hole as oversized as his personality.
Somehow I always thought I'd see you again, man.

I am truly saddened by the news of 1 of my childhood hero's death. As a member of the 3rd Hotspurs team, and 2 years his younger, EO, my brother Tom, and the rest of the "older boys" on the Spurs were my mentors and my heroes. EO was a powerful guy and a damn good Yellow Jacket. So long, EO.

I was a teammate of EO at Tech. When he kicked off , the entire stadium would yell E O Whealer in unison. He was a cool guy
