Charlie Modica Has Passed On

Maybe Seaside will plant a tree in honor of Mr. Modica, in a place where people can sit in its shade, kind of like the "Giving Tree", since he gave so much to Seaside. Or a cool sculpture to honor him.

That is a nice thought. But it makes me smile to think that the market will be there to serve many more generations, providing comfort (and shade). And as you sit out front under the awning, Mr. and Mrs. Modica will always be there smiling down at you. Figuratively, and literally from their oval photo.

That's about as good a legacy as any of us could hope to have.

Mr. Modica sounds like one of the good guys, whose ranks are now a little thinner here. God bless his loved ones during this sad time. Long live his legacy.

My prayers go out to the Modica family. Always a joy seeing Mr. Modica behind the register. I love the idea of a sculpture.

I was stunned to read this this morning. He is an icon and his legacy will be legendary. God bless this wonderful man and his beautiful family, also comfort to our community that will miss him so greatly. Rest in Peace.

To our friends at SoWal.com and throughout the community, here is the info on the services for Mr. Modica. Services for Mr. Modica will be held at St. Rita Catholic Church on Saturday, October 23rd at 11AM. St. Rita is located at 137 Moll Drive in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. In addition, the Modica family asks that, in lieu of flowers, guests make a donation in the name of Charles Modica, Sr. to the Cardiac Department at Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast (850.278-3700).

Please pass this along to your family and friends. Thank you for the support and kind words.

We will miss Mr. Modica and remember him always as we keep going back to his uniquely wonderful grocery store. Thinking of all the Modica family and our community at this time.

Thinking of his family and friends at this time. I hope the store will continue for a long, long, time. Ellen
