Ernie was one of the McAdam kids who attended Luxton & St. John’s High School. He then attended the U of M, and U of AB for dentistry from which he graduated in 1958. After a few years of practicing general dentistry, he studied orthodontics at U of T, graduated in 1966 and came back to Winnipeg where he began his orthodontic practice. Ernie was elected to serve on the executive board of directors of the Manitoba Dental Association. Due to his passion for his chosen profession, he taught at the Faculty of Dentistry for 29 years while maintaining his orthodontic practice.
He was very much involved in a lifelong love of sports, tennis, curling, basketball and in later years, much humorous competitive golfing with his wife Undine.
A celebration of Ernie’s life will take place at 2:00 pm on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.
The family asks if you wish to extend your sympathies, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Siloam Mission.
