Preston Dry Obituary

Dry, Preston Morris Beloved husband of the late Jeri (nee Stone); loving father of Suzie (Todd), Steven (Alison), and Richard (Jacqui); adored grandfather of Ben, Sophie, Dakota, Sarah, and Noah; and dear brother of Michael "Pepper" (Joni) and Judith (Daniel). Preston was a successful entrepreneur and businessman. His true passion was his volunteer work assisting the rehabilitation of prisoners in the Indiana prison system, for which he received the volunteer of the year award from the State of Indiana two years in a row. The family will hold a private service and asks that in lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the American Diabetes Association.
