Frank and Irene (Crosby) Revell. Billy was educated in South County at Tracy’s Elementary, and graduated from Southern Senior High School in Lothian in 1959. Billy held several jobs over the years, Brownies Service Center in Deale, Jacob’s Peterbilt in Tuxedo, International Harvester Company in Tuxedo and Richmond, Southern Maryland Cable in Tracy’s Landing and Baldwin’s Service Center in Annapolis. On June 30, 1962, he married Bonita “Bonnie” M. Nieman and they made their home in Friendship. In 1984, he started his own auto repair business, “The Greasy Wrench” in his back yard and worked there until last year when he was forced to close due to health issues.

In 1976, he traveled to France with the race team and they were the only stock car to race in the LeMans, he was a true NASCAR fan. In recent years, he turned into a “soccer pop”, cheering on his granddaughter SCYA and SHS teams.
