Bobby Dillon, who lost his left eye as a result of childhood accidents but became an All-American defensive back at the University of Texas and a four-time Pro Bowl safety for the Green Bay Packers of the 1950s, died on Aug. 22 in Temple, Tex. He was 89.
His daughter, Karen Gooch, said the cause was complications of dementia.
Playing for Green Bay from 1952 to 1959, Dillon set a franchise record that still stands for interceptions with 52, including four against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day 1953, a single-game N.F.L. record shared by many players.
