(Seguin) “What a legacy he leaves behind.” Those are some of the words that are being used to describe the imprint that has been left behind in the Seguin community by Charles “Charlie” Koehler.
Koehler, founder of the Koehler Company, died Sunday at the age 91. For many, that imprint was the result of years of loyalty to not only his family but to his business, to the local schools and to the community.
Among those privileged to see those loyalties unfold throughout the community is Ron Heinemeyer. Heinemeyer says although he and Koehler have worked alongside many projects, it is their friendship that he will miss the most.
Leland (Lee) Dee Carter was born April 1, 1948, in Knoxville, Iowa to Alberta (née Onstank) and Lloyd Carter. Lee adored his two younger siblings, Monte and Melissa (Missy). His father instilled a strong work ethic early in Lee’s life and his mother taught him the value of love. Both of his parents emphasized the importance of family. He attended Knoxville High School and graduated in 1966, playing in the marching band as a letterman.
Lee’s life is a testament to bravery, generosity, and love for others. As a child, he contracted polio but was graced with a full recovery. Despite the horror and pain of the disease, some of Lee’s fondest childhood memories included family gatherings in his hospital room to watch television and enjoy family time.

Whodini rapper John ‘Ecstasy’ Fletcher, hip-hop pioneer, dies at 56 [Los Angeles Times :: BC-FLETCHER-OBIT:LA]
John “Ecstasy” Fletcher, cofounder of the early New York hip-hop group Whodini, who used electro-funk and R&B influences to expand the new genre into a commercially potent force, died Wednesday at age 56.
The cause of death was not immediately known.
“The African and Native American ancestors have gathered around and chosen this day, during the Winter Solstice, Dec 23rd, 2020 to call upon a most endeared, generous, and sincere soul,” Fletcher’s daughter Jonnelle wrote in a statement.
“‘One Love’ to one of Hip Hop’s Greatest! There will never be another,” his bandmate Jalil Hutchins added.
