Yancy Fry

“	Son, I'm naming you Philip J. Fry in honor of my little brother, who I miss every day. I love you Philip, and I always will.	”
–Yancy Fry, Jr. in "The Luck of the Fryrish"

Yancy Fry (September 4, 1971 - September 11, 2017) was the first-born son of Yancy Fry, Sr. and Mrs. Fry (née Gleisner). He was also the older brother of Philip J. Fry. He was the older paternal grandson of Mildred Fry, Enos Fry, and through a time warp, Philip J. Fry. He was the oldest maternal grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Gleisner.

He was the last in a long line of Yancy Frys, dating back to minuteman Yancy Fry.

Yancy Jr. is the brother-in-law of Turanga Leela and Jrrr. Through Leela, he is the step-uncle of Kif Kroker's Offspring.

He married an unnamed woman with whom he had a son Philip J. Fry II. Yancy Jr. was also the direct ancestor (assumedly through Philip II) of Professor Farnsworth. He was also the grandson of Philip I and the uncle of his own father Yancy Sr. as a result of Philip I becoming their grandfather. Although he apparently believed his paternal grandfather to have been Enos Fry.

History

Yancy Jr. was rude to and extremely competitive with, his younger brother. He was extremely jealous of Philip I's name. Despite his antagonistic attitude towards his younger brother, Yancy Jr. did in fact love his younger brother dearly and was so devastated when he disappeared that he named his son Philip J. Fry II in honor of him, teary eyed and saying that he loved his younger brother so much and missed him everyday.

However, in "Bender's Big Score", Philip I went back in time, Yancy Jr. spent another 12 years with the time Paradox duplicate before adopting the Lars Fillmore persona. However, this time Paradox duplicate creates an alternate timeline, where Yancy is outclassed in basketball by his younger brother with his clover but enjoying time with him at family gathering. Despite his brother technically not being frozen, and his son being born in the time span, Yancy still named him after Philip, meaning it could have be that Yancy Jr. loved his younger brother so much that he named his son after him anyway. In 2012, he is visited by Bender (who unknown to him is his brother's friend) and the latter demands to see Philip J. Fry, thinking he means his son, Yancy tells him "some kind of trash can" is at the door to see him and he tells the robot that he's coming. After his son arrives, Yancy walks off to let them talk.

Age

Yancy Jr. seems to be 41 in the year 2012. In the year 2000, he seems to be 29. If he was still alive, he would be 1,051 years old.
