I'm pretty darn sure it's Jay Gatsby's dad in the book The Great Gatsby. :)
Henry Gatz lives in a small, run-down house in a village in Minnesota. He is the father of Jay Gatsby and only appears briefly towards the end of the novel.
In "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Gatz learns about Gatsby's funeral from a newspaper article. He reads about it in the Chicago paper and arrives at Gatsby's mansion to attend the funeral.
Gatsby's parents were poor farmers from North Dakota. His father's name was Henry Gatz.
The book Henry C. Gatz shows Nick is a schedule of the connections Gatsby had in his life, highlighting Gatsby's aspirations and desire for acceptance in high society. This book is important as it reveals Gatsby's true identity and his efforts to reinvent himself, shedding light on his character and motivations.
Yes, there are similarities between Jay Gatsby and Jimmy Gatz. Both characters create new identities for themselves, driven by ambition and a desire for success. Jimmy Gatz's schedule and resolve to transform into Jay Gatsby mirror the same determination and reinvention seen in Gatsby's character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby."
Nick notices that Jay Gatsby's father, Henry C. Gatz, arrives at Gatsby's mansion after his death and shows Nick a schedule of Gatsby's boyhood accomplishments inscribed in a book. This shows the extent of Gatsby's aspirations and ambitions in life.
Jay Gatsby's full name is James Gatz. He changes his name to Jay Gatsby when he reinvents himself and creates a new persona.
"a telegram signed Henry C. Gatz arrived from a town in Minnesota" insinuates that he may be from there. "Bought he the house I live in now" shows that he lives in a house that Gatsby bought him. Gatsby's parents were said to be "shiftless and unsuccessful farm people", proving that he probably lives on a farm.

In "The Great Gatsby," only Nick Carraway, Gatsby's father, Owl Eyes, a few servants, and a minister attend Gatsby's funeral. All the characters who frequented Gatsby's lavish parties during his lifetime abandon him in death.
