His sudden death stunned his quiet Queens neighborhood, where flags were flown at half-mast and locals were tying red ribbons and red bows around trees and utility poles in honor of the fallen hero. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m putting them on all the trees here on the block,\u201d Breezy Point resident Linda Lomanto, 51, told The Post Monday. \u201cI felt like just, y\u2019know, on this block alone there\u2019s his parents, his first cousin. It\u2019ll be nice to let them know how we feel. But even people further away, it\u2019s something you have to do to let the firefighters and police know we have their backs, especially now.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to put them on every pole, not just in Breezy, Belle Harbor too,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Linda Hwang, 67, who owns Belle Harbor Foods, said locals were stocking up on mementos of their neighborhood hero, including copies of The Post\u2019s front page report on his death. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe ran out of [the] New York Post by noon,\u201d Hwang said. \u201cEveryone coming in wants a copy to keep for him. They know him. Everyone know him here.\u00a0They love him. They keep coming in and asking me if I am getting more papers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s terrible,\u201d she added. \u201cSo sad. He came in every day. Such a nice man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, tenants in the six-story Kings Highway building in Brownsville where Brady collapsed were also still talking about the Big Apple hero\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see a lot of firemen running upstairs and then I see them bringing down one of their own, on a stretcher,\u201d one resident recalled. \u201cThe elevator was turned off so they had to bring him down the stairs.<\/p>\n
