Celebrating 100 years of life & service Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Guadalupe County is helping to celebrate the 100th birthday of Charlie Willmann Sr. The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court recently observed March 25th as the 100th Birthday Celebration for Charles “Charlie” Julius Willmann, Sr. Willmann not only served as Guadalupe County Commissioner Pct.1 from 1988 to 1992 but also acted as county judge pro tem. He is also best known for having served as the interim county judge from May 2012 to November 2012. Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says Willmann over the years has played an important role in the operation and continuation of the county’s values, traditions and heritage. “We wanted to recognize his 100th birthday. We know we have some very influential people in this community who have lived a very long time who have served this community well, but we have a direct connection with Charlie at the county for what he has done and we just wanted to honor him and say we appreciate that,” said Kutscher. Willmann who attended Seguin High School began his service to others when he paused his formal education at Texas A&M College in order to enlist in the United States Navy during World War II. When he returned, he completed his degree in agricultural administration, raising award-winning pecans and becoming a part of the many service boards and organizations throughout the county.
Kutscher says one of Willmann’s most important contributions to the public was his appointment as interim county judge. Willmann’s appointment followed the resignation of, then County, Judge Mike Wiggins. At the time, Willmann was 87 and was selected unanimously from a pool of 23 candidates who were looking to serve the temporary position. Kutscher says Willmann’s willingness to serve

the county at that time was to not only help but to ensure the integrity of the county’s operation. “We wanted to recognize Charlie because he’s played a pivotal role in Guadalupe County for a long time as an individual but also helped the county through a difficult time politically back in 2012, but I want to tell the story real quick about Charlie and his servant heart. 100 pg. 3
