 In the 1980s, Joe Quimby II ran for [[mayor of Springfield]], with his father serving as his right-hand man. When his son got married to [[Beatrice Bouvier]], he told his son that he would have to be seen with mistresses to keep his image intact. Joe Quimby II agreed to do so, which caused Beatrice to leave him. When Quimby ran for governor, he used his speech to apologize to Beatrice and tell her that he loved her. Seeing Quimby throw away the image he had built for him caused Joe Quimby Sr. to suffer a heart attack. He died in hospital after telling his son that he was a failure and that he could only hope that [[Joe Quimby III|his grandson]] would succeed where he failed.<ref name="Sashes to Sashes"/>

+One hundred years ago in {{ap|Quimby|location}}, [[Ireland]], Joe O'Shaughnessy stole the turnip that his mother had found for their dinner. As his family chased him, Joe boarded a ship bound for [[Springfield]]. When he arrived in Springfield, his name was changed to Joe Quimby.
-Quimby, Sr. had ran illegal liquor business, which prohibition caused to thrive in 1920. He then "expanded his bathtub gin operation to include sink vodka, toilet scotch, and bidet bourbon".
+Joe had a rough life at first due to the Irish being persecuted. In 1929, he and [[Iggy Wiggum]] worked together scavenging through horse leavings for coins and buttons. He and Iggy also got attacked by local bullies. When Quimby saw [[Rigatoni Spanucci]], he decided to ask him for a job at the [[Spanucci Barrelworks]]. However, he was laughed at then knocked down the stairs in a barrel. Quimby decided to get revenge on Spanucci by making him a corned beef sandwich, which he then shoved down his throat, choking him to death. Quimby left a fake will on his person that said he left his company to his friend Joe Quimby.
-[[Joe Quimby]] was his first legitimate child. Joe Sr. also has children with [[Agnes Moorehead]] and, later, with all of his son's nannies. In 1961 Joe Quimby, Sr. mysteriously disappeared.

+After obtaining the Barrelworks, Quimby Sr. became bigger and more popular. He started his own movie studio, which produced a barrel-based musical, ''[[Over the Falls]]''. However, Quimby really wanted to get into politics. When he told the news he was thinking of running for city council, everyone laughed at him and he was told to know his place because he was Irish. Quimby then found out that his wife was in labor and his son, [[Joe Quimby]], was born. Quimby Sr. told baby Joe that he wanted him to succeed where he couldn't.<ref name="Sashes to Sashes"/>
