Alan "Al" Grimms-Gumble (b. 1933) is the owner of Barney's Bowlarama and is Barney Gumble's uncle. Barney supposedly sold Al the Bowlarama for a few pints of beer. He is also possibly the older brother of the late Arnold Arnie Gumble. Al is Arnold and Peggy's last son. Arnold got married to Peggy in 1925. A few months later, they had Arnie Gumble (Barney's dad). In 1926, they had Rudy Gumble, who died in 1944 because of a car accident. In 1930 they had their third child, Paula Gumble. She lives in New York. Then, she had Horrace Gumble in 1933. He died in 1990 because of a car accident. In 1936, they had Margareta Gumble. She died in 1970. She had bad drinking problems. In 1938, they had Manfred "Manny" Gumble. He married Janet Nielsen and had 3 children, named Marvin, Julia and Alfred "Alf" Gumble. They had their last son, Alan, in 1943.
Alan doesn't have any children, but he's divorced to Karen Freedman (Lunch Lady Doris') sister-in-law.
Al is noteworthy for being a Gumble family member who is not completely identical to Barney, or share his voice and habit of burping profusely (Barney himself and all other Gumbles shown on the show share these traits.)
