Jimmy Edward Riscky

Jim Riscky was so good to my son, Greg Ferrier, when he was employed at Riscky's. Greg, passed in 1999, but he was employed at Riscky's until his lung cancer. He loved his time as an employee at Riscky's and the many friends made there.

I'm 73 y/o, I don't remember Jimmy as a child working at the store on Azle Ave. But I do remember his dad, granddad and Uncle Alex. I do remember him later on in life, when I rented a house from him, on the corner of Hanna and 27th. It was a green colored house, it still might be. I guess one of my favorite memories, was one early evening, Jimmy came knocking on our door.He had a pan of chopped brisket, was afraid some wood chips from spoon or whatever he'd use to push the brisket thru the...

I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I had the opportunity of talking with him at the reunion and love his restaurants. My son has also been to the restaurants and tells me every time he goes.
We will miss Jim and wish only the best to his family.

To the Riscky family, my sincere condolences on Jimmy's passing. I worked for Jimmy when he had the Dallas store and helped him when he opened a couple of the Fort Worth locations. He was a very fine person, sincerely Earl Shuster

A classmate from Oakhurst Elementary through ACRHS. I always tried to visit with Jimmy when I was in Fort Worth.
Humorous, witty, entrepreneur, and a good friend. I will miss you--R.I.P.

Prayers to family & friends!! I first met Jim in Stockyards while volunteering for Pioneer Days & Chisholm Trail. I also helped him for many years in his purchases of motors & other supplies at Grainger.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I did some plumbing work for jimmy. He would nearly always have it fixed by the time I would get there. I always loved to hear his stories he would tell me about his work and fishing trips. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
