📣 2025 Opp Hall of Fame Inductee: Larry DeWayne Presley 🏆
The Opp & Covington County Area Chamber of Commerce is honored to announce Larry DeWayne Presley as a 2025 Hall of Fame Inductee.
Born in Florala, Alabama, Larry Presley dedicated his life to serving others, through his work, his faith, and his unwavering commitment to the community of Opp. A proud graduate of Auburn University’s College of Pharmacy, Larry moved to Opp in 1968 and later became the owner of Larry’s Prescriptions, Inc., where he built a legacy of care, mentorship, and excellence.
Throughout his career, Larry was a respected leader in the pharmacy field, founding the Covington County Pharmacy Association and receiving the 2017 Bowl of Hygeia Award, the highest honor for community service in the profession. But his impact didn’t stop there, he served on the Opp City Schools Board of Education, coached youth baseball, was President of the Opp Chamber of Commerce, and worshiped faithfully at Opp First Baptist Church, where he served for more than 40 years.
Larry believed in lifting others up. He mentored countless aspiring pharmacists, many of whom are still serving our community today, including his son Neal Presley and former employee Morgan Phillips, who continue the legacy of Larry’s Prescriptions. He served the Opp area for 41 years before his passing in 2020, but his influence continues to shape lives every day.
Join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of Larry Presley at the 2025 Opp Hall of Fame Banquet on Tuesday, June 10th at 6:00 PM at Opp First Baptist Church.
