We take this opportunity to remember those who have been a part of us and continue to live in our memories...

Karl Mason
Aug 12, 1954—July 30, 2005

Numerologist, Author, Actor , Musician, Teacher Adventurer. He called himself the “Psychic with the Bar Napkin,” as that is how long it took him to work out the pinnacles and challenges of a person’s birth numbers.

Karl was born in Corpus Christi, TX, and graduated from U of H in Houston. He married Marva Boehm Mason, in 1991. They lived in Los Angeles from December 1991—January 1994, where Karl began working various psychic lines, writing his book on Numerology, various writing assignments for actress Sally Kirkland, and working on several films as an extra, including the role of the drummer in Ricky Nelson’s band in the premier episode of “What Happened” . He also had a bit part in the HBO TV movie “Mastergate” and a Kung Fu movie, and others.

While in California, Karl had a weekly call-in radio on talk show in Reno, Nevada. He has also been a guest of Houston KBXX- FM’s morning show with Robert Scorpio. Upon returning to Houston in 1994, Karl resumed substitute teaching at various HISD and Spring Branch public schools, but his favorites were assignments at the “delinquent” schools. He continued his work on various psychic lines, and worked local psychic fairs, and many parties and events.

Karl had numerous phone clients from around the country, and had a steady phone clientele who liked his brand of wit, intuition, and problem-solving . He loved music, especially Cream, Eric Clapton, Santana, Carlos Joabim, Satie, Billy Vera & The Beaters, The Rolling Stones. He loved political literature, and was most recently studying Sanskrit.

Karl is survived by his mother, Helen Boron Gonzalez, sister , Anna Cantu, and husband John Cantu, all of Pflugerville TX, and ex-wife and best friend, Marva Boehm Mason, of Houston, and his two precious kitties, Mattie and Cream.

Special appreciation goes to Grant Gudmundson of Salt Lake City, who flew in to Houston espcecially to lead the guided meditation at Karl’s Celebration of Life on Saturday, August 6 at the close of the psychic fair. God Speed along your new journey, Karl, and take with you all the love I have to give you.

Karl lost his battle with Juvenile Diabetes. He fought and won 4 episodes of doctors wanting to amputate his feet or more, and struggling with the long road of years for his feet to recover without amputation. The family requests that you acquaint yourself with this disease to prevent you and your loved ones fighting the same battle that Karl has fought since age 12.

Eugene Villalobos

1941 – October 2004

A legend in his own time
A celebration of his life

Eugene Gary Villalobos was born in 1941 in Santa Barbara, California.

Son of Samuel Villalobos and Rena Biaggi, grandson of Joseph Villalobos.

Predeceased in death by a younger brother Gregory Eldon Villalobos, and infant siblings Eugene Alden, Keran Charlene, and Sheran Arlene who passed away as babies.

Eugene was a modern day gypsy, storyteller, world traveler. He read palms, told fortunes, made people laugh. Our dear friend died quietly in his sleep.

Eugene lived the simple life. He became a vegetarian, studied yoga, loved to dance, enjoyed a good cup of coffee and traveled light. He was the life and voice of any gathering.

A gifted master of the Planets and Stars, he loved to captivate an audience, and could hold even the most stubborn skeptic in a debate.

Eugene adored being on the road and traveled from Florida to Alabama to Texas to California, often staying with and traveling with friends, who were enchanted by his charm and tales. Eugene never wore out his welcome. He always had friends available to be surrounded by.

Friends of Eugene will be gathering for a Memorial Luncheon
