The official bio is slightly different from what you described (mostly
in origins):
http://www.marvel.com/comics/characters/punisher.html

Last year Garth Ennis took over on the Punisher, and personally I think
it's some of the best work yet.  No angels, no demons - just a dark hero
wiping out the Mafia family in NYC.

I'd highly recommend the series.
