Gareth Prince is Martin's father and Gloria's husband.

History[]

Gareth Prince is the father of Martin Prince, and he is the husband of Gloria Prince. He is a stockbroker in Springfield and was shown bringing his son to work on "Bring Your Child to Work Day", where Martin made over $1 million trading soy futures (and subsequently lost all but $600).[1] He appears to be a nerd much like his son, seeing as he has somewhat of a lisp. Gareth was also one of the fathers that went in Ned Flanders's RV, to find their sons in Shelbyville.[2] In another episode, when he and Gloria send Martin off to Kamp Krusty, he sugarcoats by calling where his son will be going an "image enhancement camp", but Martin sees through this and knows better for a fact that it's a fat camp.[3]

When Martin's party guests get food poisoning from eating diseased oysters, he had thought that this would happen, he knew that it was a bad idea, as he tells his wife they should've served cake instead of oysters implying he tried to convince her to serve cake instead but she refused to listen. Later in the same episode, they're seen outside the school with other parents and residents when the building is put on lock down.[4]
