Charles Michael Cawley (August 15, 1940 – November 18, 2015) was a businessman and founding member of the bank MBNA.
[1][2] Born in Massachusetts, he was raised in New Jersey, was educated at Saint Benedict's Preparatory School and was a graduate of Georgetown University.
This marked a tie to Cawley's past, as his grandfather had once operated dress factories in Camden and nearby Belfast.
Cawley was also familiar with the Camden area because he had spent summers nearby at his family's Lincolnville Beach estate.
