Einstein was a bit of a klutz when it came to his personal life- but aren't we all? There was a first marriage that eventually ran into the sand, a daughter born out of wedlock who is untraceable (she probably died in infancy) and a second marriage to a cousin. Later- I gather though I haven't got that far in the record- there were carryings-on. His love letters- where they have survived- are as toe-curlingly embarrassing as anybody else's. 

He was a goodish father and a loyal friend.

We'll never know- which is a shame.

He was working right up until the end. When he died there were several pages of equations beside his bed, as well as the draft of a radio address he was scheduled to deliver to the people of Israel on their Independence Day.

He had a schizo relationship with Judaism.

That's right. He kept phasing in and out. He said, "You can take a snail out of its shell but it's still a snail".
