No mystery at all...that's Tibor's uncle, Emilio Cantelone Tibor...the famous Italian car designer. Kenny doesn't mention this side of the family too often...he is embarrassed to let people know of his Italian heritage. I think the original family name was Tiborlini...it was probably shortened at Ellis Island back in the day. The Tibor family does celebrate a traditional Italian Christmas...they go to the "all you can eat buffet" at The Olive Garden.

Ciao..
