Herbert H. Brigham

Herbert H. Brigham, 97, of Berlin, passed away on Sunday, September 17, 2023 at the Coos County Nursing Home, after 15 months of outstanding care. He was born in Berlin on June 20, 1926, the son of the late Daniel and Blanche (Leighton) Brigham, and was a lifelong resident. He was a US Army veteran of World War II and had been employed as a papermaker for the Brown Company for 45 years.

Herb was a Boston sports fan and enjoyed watching the Red Sox and Braves. He was a member of Good Shepherd Parish (formerly St. Kieran’s), the VFW White Mountain Post 2520, and was a lifetime member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Upon retiring, he and Lucy took several trips to Hawaii, thus the often seen “blue Hawaii shirt”; he also became an avid cross-country skier during this time. Herb loved spending time with his family, and especially his grandchildren. The 30+ summers spent at Nay Pond with family, as well as the holidays, were his most special moments.

Family includes his sons Daniel Brigham of Berlin, NH and Steven Brigham and wife Loreen of Derry, NH; daughter-in-law Jean Brigham of Shirley, MA; grandchildren Jordan, Mark, Matt, Nathan, Carlie and Ashley; 9 great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Lucille (Lepage) Brigham, and his children, Michael and Susan.
