Obituary: Ray William Frantz Jr., age 91, died on 11, 2015 in Harrisonburg, Va where he and his wife resided near their daughter for the past year. He was born on 17, 1923 in Princeton, Kentucky, the son of Ray William and Marjorie Kevil Frantz.

He was preceded in death by his wife Doris. He is survived by their children Katherine Campbell of Harrisonburg, Va and Paul Frantz of New Orleans, LA, as well as, his grandchildren Sara, Hannah, and Pinki who loved him dearly as he did them.

He was a graduate of the University of Nebraska where he attained a B.A in English. He attended graduate school at the University of Illinois where he earned Master degrees in Library Science and English. He also received a Ph.D in English from the University of Illinois.

He was the past president of the National Association of Research Libraries, Vice President of the 18th Century Short Titled Catalog and past president of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries.

He was in sports all of his life: track, golf, baseball, climbed briefly in the Tetons, canoed the Snake River, and loved to step into a stream and try to outwit a trout.
