Much sympathy to you at this time of loss. We remember David as a young worker for our father at Foodland grocery store on 4500 South and Highland Drive in the 50's and 60's. Our dad thought the world of him and he paid our dad a great tribute by coming to his funeral in 2014. Our Best to you - The Mulvay Family

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of such an incredible and wonderful man. David was a delight on all levels...my heart and prayers are with Norma Jean and the entire Chisholm family...his legend will live on in each of you. I am unable to attend his services because I will be laying my own mother to rest, but please know that my thoughts and love surround you!
