He lived his youth in Albemarle moving to Belmont at 15. It was there he met his wife, Alice White. They were married in 1951 until her death in 2012. Walter was predeceased by his siblings, Pauline, Lee, Lillian and Harold as well as his son, Stephen C Hinson and granddaughter Jennifer Wiggins.

Walter lived in Albemarle from 1970 until 2008. During this time, he worked for Wiscasset Mills where he retired in 1992. After retirement, he enjoyed the life of a farmer working the land gardening and taking care of animals while spending his days outside.

In 2008, Walter & Alice relocated to Belmont to be closer to their children where they enjoyed impromptu visits, meals and lots of laughter. After Alice’s death he spent countless hours playing cards with the family. His favorite expression when having the family gathered was outstretching his arms saying, “I did all this”.
