Rufino was raised in Corpus Christi, and graduated from Roy Miller High School in 1967 where he made friends with everyone. He could never say no to anyone and always ready to lend a helping hand. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He enjoyed playing golf and holding family Bar B Q's.

He spent 15 years in Friendswood, Texas, outside Houston, where he worked for NASA then returned back to Corpus Christi to be with his children and grandchildren.
