Laurence Revelle Dry Jr.

Posted on: Dec 31, 2012

Laurence Revelle Dry, Jr. grew up in Minnesota and then attended Northwestern School of Medicine. He became a general vascular surgeon. Thereafter, he served as a major in the U.S. Army, practicing as a surgeon. Following that service, Larry moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where he practiced as a surgeon for 22 years. He always had a burning interest in the law. He followed that interest and enrolled at the University of Tennessee College of Law, graduating in 1989. Thereafter, he practiced in Oak Ridge as an attorney with special emphasis in personal injury. His medical training was invaluable to his new profession. He became very successful. He handled cases in several states and published a legal newsletter regarding legal-medical issues. Larry was very persuasive. His wife-to-be, Wanda, served on a jury in a case being tried in Kentucky. Following the trial, he asked her out and three days later they were married! Subsequently, he convinced Wanda to go to law school. They practiced together until his death, May 17, 2012. Larry was an avid fisherman and loved his home located in the Florida Keys. In addition to his wife, Wanda, he is survived by four children, Larry III, Julie, Mollie and Wendy; and, four granddaughters.
