Walter emigrated from England to the United States and Youngstown with his parents and sister in 1951. He grew up on the east and south sides of Youngstown and later lived in Boardman and Canfield. Walter attended St. Stanislaus Catholic School and graduated from South High School in 1968. He was a member of St. Charles Catholic Church and worked at Youngstown Sheet and Tube.
