I knew E C at Arkansas Tech and later served with him 9 years in the Ozark National Guard. E C was one of the finest individuals I have ever known and he will be missed by every one who knew him. I always considered E C as one of my best friends. My sympathy goes out to his family and all his friends

Dr. O'Neal was one of the best professors I had at Mississippi State. He not only taught classes but he taught "class". He was such a Gentleman, and I respected his thoughts and his integrity. He will truly be missed, and I know that I am a better person for knowing him and learning from him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about E.C. We had many basketball noon games at old McCarthy. We had many bull sessions at his office. Most sincere condolences.

Katie and family, I am so sorry to hear of Dr. O'Neal's death. He was always so DEAR to me, and reminded me of my own Dad. The students in our department loved and appreciated him, as did all of us who knew and worked with him. He was so helpful to me when I first started teaching, and always "looked out" for me! I'm sure Heaven now has a patch of Maroon and White! God bless you all, Debby Funderburk

Katie and Susan and family. I am saddened to learn of the death of Dr. O'Neal. He always had a very special place in my heart. He made a very positive impact on my life. He was so caring. As my teacher he was always encouraging and had a smile on his face. As an official, he was always honest and officiated a game with utmost integrity. I loved his smile. Gene and I met in his classroom and we both thought the world of him. We speak of him so often. We will be praying for all of you during this difficult time.

Ms. Katie & Family, Thank you for sharing Dr. O'Neal wth me. Even though my personal time with him was not as much as my father and others, I learned so, so much about his love for Arkansas Tech and his family. I truly feel like I've known him for a very long time! Thinking of you as you celebrate a wonderful life full of memories.

Katie and family, Elinda and I were saddened to hear of Coach O'Neal's death. He was our teacher and coach. He had a great influence on my life and the lives of many students. Playing basketball for him was one of the highlights of my high school days.

Katie and family, it was only Saturday, the day Coach O'Neal passed away, that Ted Tyler and I were together for several hours and reminisced about high school days including the time we spent with Coach playing basketball for him. We have fond memories of those days, including knowing all the O'Neal family. Coach was good to us boys and we especially enjoyed getting to be at his induction into the AR Sports Hall of Fame. Ted and I send heartfelt sympathy to each of you. We loved Coach.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of E.C. this morning. For many years we were professional colleagues and worked together in our state association and in officiating. He was a fine man and a dear friend. I loved him like a brother. My prayers are with the family and friends.
