CARL ERNEST RUFELDS December 9, 1932 - May 13, 2018 Carl died suddenly and peacefully in his 85th year. Loving husband of Helen (Evanson), Carl will also be missed by his children, Kurt, Carla and her husband Dan, and by his grandkids, Cameron, Miles, Liam and Sylva. A proud graduate of the University of Manitoba, he and Helen embarked on a dramatic career change from mechanical engineer to Canadian diplomat in 1961. His career took them to 10 postings on five continents before happily retiring in Fredericton in 1993. An accomplished football player and curler, Carl was never happier than being at their off-the-grid log cabin in Quebec, where his ingenuity and tinkering were at their best, and where the family and beloved pets shared so many wonderful times together.
