Morty Seinfeld is Jerry's father. Morty made a living selling raincoats for 35 years. Morty refuses to let Jerry pay for a meal any
time they go out to eat, even if he has no money to pay the bill. He hates velcro because he can't stand the tearing sound it makes when separated. He and Helen are retired and have lived in a series of condos in Florida, the most long-lasting of which has been Del Boca Vista. He was the president of the tenant's board for many years, until Jerry bought him a Cadillac, arousing suspicion among his neighbors that he was stealing from the board coffers. He was impeached and resigned when the tie-breaking voter turned against him upon remembering that Jerry had stolen a loaf of Marble Rye bread from her. His impeachment scene included a parody of Richard Nixon's famous wave. |
