Walter was a natural born caretaker, and cared for all that knew him. He helped raise his niece, Amanda Gamble, and then her daughter, Rosalynn Gamble.

Walter graduated from Enid High in 1976 and Phillips University in 1980. He later earned a PhD in Divinity. Walter was a substitute teacher at Enid High School. He worked for Enid Group Homes until he had to medically retire. In his retirement, he performed numerous weddings and funerals.

As a child, Walter was raised as a military dependent. He lived in Bermuda, Clinton-Sherman AFB OK, Little Rock AFB AR, and England AFB LA. Geology and theology was important in his life. He was an avid admirer of rocks as a member of both the Enid Gem and Mineral Society and the Rough and Tumbled Rock and Gem Club of Ponca City, Oklahoma. Walter was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church.
