MONMOUTH – Wesley “Wes” Kent Brydon, 68, of Monmouth, passed away suddenly on March 7, 2021, at Central Maine Medical Center. He was born in Portland on Sept. 6, 1952, the son of Lawrence and Arline Brydon.
He worked at L.LBean for 23 years before retiring in March 2020. In his spare time, he would tend to his garden, making sure to get many moments in nature. He loved music, and animals.
Wes was a man of many traits, he had a sense of humor, he was a hard worker, he loved taking care of his family, and most notably was a man of the highest integrity. Wes admired his family, not only did he take the role as a stepfather but also as a father figure to his nephew.

Rigby Yard, at 50 Wharf St. in Portland, which opened for weekends as a beer hall and restaurant in October, launched Sunday brunch on March 7. It plans to open weekdays, too, beginning Monday, as a “third space” concept providing a casual space to meet, relax and work, according to Brian Hanson, co-owner of Rigby Yard and Independent Ice Co.
Rigby Yard’s new hours will be from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, serving coffee and coffee drinks from Time & Tide coffee roasters in Biddeford. (The hall is open later hours on weekends, still serving beer, wine and cocktails.) The food will include “light fare” and quick-serve breakfast and lunch items for eating in or takeout. The outdoor patio is expected to open April 1.
