Born July 20, 1933 in Birmingham, Alabama to parents, Valarius and Reba Painter, Val was known as a loving and caring man. He graduated High School at Byrd High in Shreveport, and then went on to attend Louisiana Tech.

Afterward, he served in the United States Navy with tours to Japan and Hawaii immediately after the Korean War ended.

He loved to play golf and bowl in his earlier years and fished many times in area lakes- most noteworthy, Toledo Bend Reservoir. The family and friends would join Val in his back yard for fish fries after the trips.
