Seems Mr. Modica had a heart attack while closing the market yesterday, hit his head hard in the fall and lost quite a bit of blood. Fortunately, Mrs. Modica was there and several people were readily available to perform CPR. He is in the hospital in Pensacola, must wait for blockage repair due to the blood loss. This man is one of the most beloved people in the South Walton community, don't you think? Please keep Charlie Modica, Sr. in your thoughts and prayers. 

Oh, how awful! I just saw him last Saturday morning on a ladder restocking and arranging the items on the shelves. I was thinking to myself, shouldn't someone younger be up on that ladder.? I'm in there a lot - frankly I think that he hasn't seemed as perky and conversational in the past few months as normal.
