Jim or J.R., as he was lovingly known by family and friends, was born on January 22, 1942 to parents, Paul and Mary Fischer in Louisville, Kentucky. He attended Technical High School (now Trimble Tech) and was a member of The Panther Boys' Club. He worked in the flooring industry for many years before retiring.
Our dad loved Whataburger and Dr.Pepper! For years that was all he wanted and we would take it to him almost daily! He also enjoyed golf, bowling, dominoes, music, movies and was a sports fan. He spent years coaching his sons baseball teams and was a PA for Fort Worth ISD football games. He often spent time with his son, daughters and grandkids enjoying music, ice cream, baseball games and watching golf. Beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend will be dearly missed by those who were blessed to have shared in his life journey.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Paul Harris Fischer and Mary Opal Jones Fischer and sister, Paula Sue Kennemer.
Left to cherish his memory are his children, Robin (Rusty)Tomlinson, Bobby (Patti) Fischer, Renee (Brice) Yingling and Christi (Jonathon) Collinsworth; 16 grandchildren, Lauren, Mikel, Ali, Christian, Victoria, Meredith, Nathan, Malcom, Maxx, Travis, Ella, Tabitha, Sam, Essie, Jayden and Levi; 8 great-grandchildren, Raegan, Rylee, Lathan, Avery, Margo, Jace, Mason and Motley; nephews and nieces, his former wife Linda Fischer and numerous extended family members and friends.
