Born September 30, 1959, he was the son of the late William “Bill” Avery Givans I, and Joan Vivian Pickett Givans the former owners of the Polar Bar on Main Street in Salisbury.
Billy graduated from WiHi in 1977 and worked in many roles over the years for the Salisbury Times, Pepsi, and at several Resort Hotels in Ocean City, Delaware Beaches, and Salisbury. He later worked in the retail industry, had antique booths, and worked at Tidal Health in various capacities for the past 18 years. All of Billy’s jobs allowed him to interact with people.
