He was a cement finisher for 15+ years before he retired in 1993. Walter leaves behind four children, Yolanda Ellis, Saconia Guidry (Coray Harper), DeVaka White (Calvin Boldman), and KaiCee White (Michael Kennedy); he was known as "Papa" to his grandchildren Onteryo Booker-Guidry, Paris White, Trevonte White, Giovonni White, and great-grandchild Ky' Reese White. He also leaves behind three sisters, Doris Mackey (James), Patricia White (Robert), and Vicky White, and nephews James, Lonnie (Tammy), Sidney, and LaMonte (Gail) McKinney, and long-time friend Regina Ellis, as well as a host of family and friends.
