Character Information Gender: Male ♂ Status: Deceased Hair: Gray Occupation: Radio operator Relatives: Wife: Agnes Skinner Children: Seymour Skinner (real) and Armin Tamzarian (legal) First appearance: "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"" Voiced by: Harry Shearer v • d • e • h

Sheldon Skinner is the father of Seymour Skinner and husband to Agnes Skinner.

History

During World War II, he fought in Grampa's World War II company, the Flying Hellfish, as their Radio Operator. He is also constantly the butt of several jokes by his comrades, with one particular joke involving a note saying "shoot me" being placed on his backside. He remarks that he "didn't join the unit to make friends" grudgingly after realizing the prank. He desired three chicken dinners every day after deciding to make the tontine on the Hellfish Bonanza.^[1]

He died in a parade float accident in 1979, along with Arnie Gumble, Iggy Wiggum, Etch Westgrin and Griff McDonald, who are all members of Abe Simpson's Flying Hellfish.^[1]

Nelson said they egged his grave once.^[2]

Despite not being Armin Tamzarian's (the fake Seymour Skinner) birth father, Sheldon resembles him a lot both physically and mentally.
