This is very sad news indeed.
I worked for Ernie in the Quality of Service Section on 10th Floor ANZ Building in Martin Place (Sydney). QoS was the first place in which I worked when I came out of training in 1975. Ernie was a real gentleman. A nicer guy you will never meet. As far as I am aware everybody respected him and valued his opinion.
Ernie was a very good manager. He had a way of making everyone feel that their contribution was valued and appreciated. He will be sadly missed.
May He Rest In Peace.

Such sad sad news. I can’t believe this.
Ernie was such a great person and mentored and friended so many in Australia and around the world.

Apart from several encounters at OTC between Ernie on myself on various projects, my late wife Marcia taught Ernie’s daughter Marina at Cheltenham Girls’ High School. So we had a most pleasant extended relationship.
Please pass on my sincere condolences to the whole family. I will sorely miss the prospect of many future pleasant times together.
Sincerely Wallace W DONALD
Really sorry to hear of Ernie Wan, another really nice guy that was always friendly and willing to help.

What a great insight to a man that I briefly came in contact with for a very brief moment in time in my early days of OTC – and despite that brief moment I could tell that he was well respected and well connected.
