Walt was born in Austin, Texas to Walter and Martha Griffith. As a child, Walt lived in various regions of the world including Germany and Japan. Walt lived the majority of his adult life in Austin before settling in Rosebud, Texas to live closer to his children and grandchildren. By trade, Walt worked in radiology, air pollution control, a business owner and a medical missionary to Africa. His last 10 years were dedicated to helping others.
