House's first name is Robert. His half-brother got the company when their father died. House didn't go insane, his brother did. House didn't kill himself. Also the Lucky 38 Override terminal in the H&H tool is one of 3 terminals that are in the Mojave. They don't do anything though. They we're going to be used for something, but the designers took out the action before releasing the game. All of this can be found in the Wiki..

Like many other little tidbits in this game, the story of H?H tools is underdeveloped and plagued with continuity errors.

There are three Houses mentioned in reference to this company: Robert House (of the Lucky 38,) his half-brother (referred to both as Anthony and Alexander) and their father—the company founder, whose first name is never given. The derivation of the company name is also unclear.

The company is referred to as H & H Tool, but the logo does not contain an ampersand. it is not clear whether it was named for House & House or whether the father's first name begins with H. Since both Mr. Robert House and the Tool company are allusions to real-world father and son: Howard Hughes, Sr. & Jr. and the Hughes Tool Company.

As for who killed whom, there is no evidence of fratricide. Alexander/Anthony house maneuvered Robert out of the company and became increasingly mentally unstable. He finally sealed up the factory and, one can logically assume, died there.

All of this, again, manufactured out of whole cloth from the storied life of Howard Hughes, Jr.

What little reference there is can be found on these pages of the Wiki: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/H%26H_Tools_Factory --- http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/H%26H_Tool_Company--- http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Mr_House#Biography

Methinks A. House is perfect DLC content. Just like Elijah, he's only mentioned (relatively) offhand, and we never quite get an idea of what happened to him. Also, his assistant (I forget her name) that's also featured in the terminals seemed like a very shady individual.
