Friends said an anguished Reimer had told them he had lost at least $47,500 last year in a shady pro golf shop investment.

Colapinto's book brought in money but acquaintances said Reimer was always struggling to make ends meet. Members of the Transcona Golf Club where he had worked once collected several hundred dollars so he could feed his family and staff gave him leftovers from the club restaurant.

The two don't go together, 47K is a lot of money, (if you were :just getting by" why on earth would you take that amount of money and invest it" This some "get rich quick" scheme that he got taken in on? If someone is going to be that stupid with money, then they honestly deserve to lose it. You invest that much money, you'd thoroughly investigate it.
That doesn't change that he ended his problem, however his wife and children are left to go on and pick up the pieces, suicide, is the ultimate selfish act anyone can do, he gets no sympathy.
