my deepest condolences to the whole family. I will remember him very well since we were neighbors and I knew his family. I used to be their housekeeper and Ed would always make joke and with a serious face. God needed another angel to look over us and he was the chosen one. RIP ED

Dearborn family, I was sadden to read of Mr. Dearborn's passing. As I thought of him and each of you a flood wonderful memories of growing up in Calipat came to mind. Each memory whether it involved swim team, boy scouts or just running into each other at the store or restaurant I always remember your father as smiling and always someone I was glad to see.

So Sorry about Ed. I noticed that it did not say anything about him being a Real Estate Broker. He was such a good one and a sweetheart. I met Ed when he helped Grandpa Gaskill with Rifle Club. I know you will all miss him and I shall also. RIP

I first knew Ed in DeMolay in Brawley. He was truly one of the good guys. Over the years, he would go out of his way to say hello. He was always upbeat and seeing him anywhere, anytime was a treat. God rest, Ed.
