Larry, so very sorry to learn of Ed's passing. Over the years all of us shared some interesting and fun experiences . . .from Boise to Istanbul and places in between! Ed always had such wonderful stories about his travels! May your memories and the love of family and friends bring you peace. My deepest sympathy to you. Debbie Wetherell

I had not one, but two cousins, Larry Simpson and Ed Zasadil. When they came to Boise to visit Larry's parents, we always got together for drinks or dinner. We enjoyed many bottles of champagne at my townhouse and at my current house in Boise for many years. I have many fond memories. Larry, my sympathy to you, but it was expected.

I am truly sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a courageous and kind-hearted person. I am honored to have known him. I well remember his visits to Seattle Opera. Ed is in God's care.
