David Leedom Brigden, 74, of New Port Richey, FL passed away suddenly on December 5th, 2021.

David was the son of Benjamin Heller Brigden and Lois Skeath Brigden who predeceased him.

David spent the first half of his life in Delaware County, PA. He had a popular Tavern called Fat Daddy’s. He also had a summer home in Sea Isle City, NJ where he loved spending time with family and friends.  After moving to New Port Richey, FL he owned and operated a successful pool cleaning business.

I remember Dave as a really nice and easy-going guy. Moved to Vermont before DAve's bar ownership days, but I'm sure he attracted many people who became friends.

Dave is someone who I remember from grade school onward who never harrassed me, as some of the other boys did.  Grateful for that memory.  Rest in peace Dave.  Thanks for posting Cheryl.
