The tragic NYCHA handyman killed by a falling tree in Brooklyn was known as “Mr. Fix-it” and working overtime when he died in his brown rain boots, which tearful residents recognized his body by. Devoted public-housing maintenance man Leighton Brown, 56, generously helped scores of tenants in the Cypress Hills Houses over more than a decade on the job, residents said.
