Rausch, William Lee, age 74, of Waterford, passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side October 2, 2022. William was born to Harland and Lucille (nee. Egofske) Rausch on March 30, 1948, in Waukesha, WI. William was raised in Franklin until the age of ten when the family moved to their farm in Big Bend. William went to Mukwonago High School and at the age of eighteen moved to Waterford and started his trade of concrete construction and would be self-employed for years.
