He was born in Montreal, Canada on November 10, 1917 to Absalom and Beatrice Spracklin. Walter served in the Royal Canadian Air Force when he met and married Erma A. Mix on November 10, 1942, which was a true love story for 63 years. Walter and Erma lived in Montreal and had four children, Ronald and Gail and two daughters who passed away in infancy. Walter worked at TCA (Trans Canada Airlines) until 1956 when they moved the family to Southern California. While in Los Angeles he worked for Sargent Engineering Company. A company relocation moved Walter and Erma to Odessa, Texas. While in Texas, they joined a square dancing group and loved to dance.

They moved to Lancaster, CA. in 1998, which brought them closer to family and another move in 2001 to Lake Havasu City, which also brought them together with their family.
