Mr. William “Bill” Raulerson, age 78, of Sanderson, Florida, passed away on November 6 at Lake City Medical Center with family by his side. Mr. Raulerson was born on January 10, 1939 in Sanderson, Florida and that’s where he would call home his entire life. He married Mrs. Gracie Harvey Raulerson and they soon opened a grocery store in Sanderson. Bill’s Grocery was open for more than 45 years . Besides the grocery store, Mr. Raulerson operated Bill's Mobile Home Services, owned a wrecker service, owned car washes, and worked construction. It’s safe to say, he was a hardworking man. When he was away from work, he loved watching football. Bill was a Florida Gators and Jacksonville Jaguars fan. Most importantly, Mr. Raulerson was a family man. He loved kids, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He and his wife went to Christian Fellowship Temple in Macclenny, Florida.
