Walter attended public schools in Oklahoma City and Lawton. He graduated from Lawton High School in 1963. He attended Cameron State Agricultural College (now Cameron University) in Lawton and Central State College (now UCO) in Edmond where he graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting with a minor in Math and History. Walter married Georgia Ann Kaulay in February 1969. He and Georgia settled in Lawton, where they lived until 1996 when they moved to Norman, where they lived until his death. After graduation, Walter worked as an accountant for Townley's dairy for a year before being hired by the USDA as an auditor with the dairy products division shortly after moving to Lawton. He retired from the USDA in 2001. Following his retirement from the federal government, he was asked by the chairman of the Kiowa Tribe if he could assist the Tribe in developing a casino for them. The Kiowa Casino which opened May 23, 2007, in Devol, is the fruit of his efforts. Walter was also well-known as the treasurer of the Kiowa Gourd Clan, Carnegie, one of the most renowned, respected Native American ceremonial organizations. He was named president of the Kiowa Gourd Clan by Glenn Hamilton prior to Glenn's death. Due to his declining health, he reluctantly decided to retire from his treasurer position, in which he had served since 1968, and hand the position over to Ernest Redbird.
