So I just found out a cool little fact.
My father's mother's father's brother founded Coleco.

I am not sure if there is an actual term, but yes.

Here's a scan from the book High Score! The Illustrated History of Electronic Games that covers the early days of Coleco. Has a picture of the original Connecticut Leather Company building, and of its founder Maurice Greenberg (second guy on the right, if you can't read the description):

Knyte is correct, he is your great great uncle.
Your father's brother (if he has one) would be your uncle. Your father's mother is your grandmother. Her brother (if she has one) would be your great uncle. Her father would be your great grandfather, and his brother would be your great great uncle. So to simplify it you could either say your great grandfather's brother or your great great uncle.

My dad still has his Coleco, and his old intellivision. They're fun to bust out once in a while and try to figure out how to play the games.
