Charlie married Sandra Medina on June 12th, 2004. Charlie volunteered at the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M.D. Anderson. Charlie’s brave battle with leukemia inspired his Garden Oaks neighbors to begin “Chairs for Charlie”, which has become a special tribute that symbolized the love and support that neighbors provided to him and Sandra at the end of his life.

Charlie is survived by his loving wife Sandra, his three children, Kathleen Elisabeth McMahon, Peter Forrest George, Jessica Gabrielle George, his son in law, Bobby McMahon, his sister, Victoria Murphy, his brother in law Robert Murphy and two beautiful granddaughters Maddie and Emma McMahon.
