Bonham, Texas -- James Lee Price passed away at his home in Bonham, TX on March 5, 2025 with his wife, Betty, by his side. Arrangements are under the direction of Wise Funeral Home.
He was born on October 10, 1942 in Kanopolis, Kansas. James came from humble beginnings and at the tender age of 17 joined the United States Army. Hard work was at the center of James and he spent his adult years as a master mechanic and truck driver. Thirteen years ago he met the love of his life, Betty. She vowed to love and honor James all of his days.

James was a quiet, simple man, and for his burial he was laid to rest under the mighty cedar trees at Bettes Cemetery.
James will be missed dearly by his wife, Betty Sue Weekley, cousin, Elaine Langston, and sister-in-law, Frances Walters.

Mark Crawford with springriverfliesandguides.com (870-955-8300) said, "For spin fishing, gold and silver spinners are doing well; D2 jigs and trout cranks can work for chasing the bigger fish. The Trout Crank will get down to the fish and might catch a walleye with the rainbow trout crank."
