I just noticed the obituary. I know that a long time has passed since Dr Magee´s passing and I don´t know if anyone will see this note. I was a long time patient of Dr Magee (Doc). He fixed my injuries and motivated me through my rehabs. He was a wonderful doctor and a wonderful person.

To the Magee Family:
Doc was a special guy who will be missed incredibly by all of us who loved him. He touched our hearts, and for some of us - our knees, as well. A great doctor and a great friend to many.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

You are often in my heart during this difficult time. I was so saddened when news came of Charley's passing. I see his happy smile in my mind, always the larger-than-life person, always with something to say, ever the great doctor in the family. His loving spirit will remain with us always. May you find peace.

To the family, my deepest sympathy & prayers. He treated each of my four daughters, a very dear friend, & me over his many years in Oak Park, IL. We had the deepest respect for him as a person & a physician. He always had enough time for us, no matter how busy he might have been. He was indeed a true instrument of healing. May he rest in the arms of the Divine Physician.
