My father. He married his high school sweet heart Pauline.

He was a boiler operator by trade. Worked various jobs, but could never keep one. He had a "beautiful mind" like Russel Crowe in the movie. Very intelligent man but he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Tragically he committed suicide in 1959. I was age 4.

Is there schizophrenia or suicide elsewhere in the family?

Please email, I am just very curious.
