GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Gale Gillingham, an All-Pro guard for the Green Bay Packers who played in Vince Lombardi’s last games as the team’s coach, died on Thursday at his home in Little Falls, Minn. He was 67.
Gillingham was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1982. 
The latest news, notes and analysis of the N.F.L. playoffs.His son Wade said his father apparently had a heart attack while lifting weights in his garage, The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported. The cause of death has not been confirmed.
Gillingham, who competed as a power lifter in later years, was known in that sport as head of “the first family of strength.” His sons, Wade, Brad and Karl, have all been world-class power lifters.
Gillingham became the Packers’ starting left guard in the 1967 season and started in Lombardi’s final two games coaching the team: the storied Ice Bowl, the N.F.L. championship game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay in which the Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys in below-zero temperatures; and the subsequent Super Bowl II, in which the Packers defeated the Oakland Raiders at the Orange Bowl in Miami.
Gillingham was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1982 and made the Pro Bowl five times in six years, from 1969 to 1974. He moved to right guard in 1969. A first-round draft choice, he played in 128 regular-season games for the Packers from 1966 to 1974 and in 1976, when he returned to play under Coach Bart Starr, the former Packers quarterback.
Gillingham was born in Madison, Wis., and graduated from high school in Little Falls before attending the University of Minnesota. He is also survived by a daughter. Further information about survivors was not immediately available.
After his playing career, Gillingham worked in real estate for more than 30 years.
