"The reason I killed myself was 'cause I was getting evicted and I can't handle being homeless. I also am very depressed since I was in 9/11. I've been drinking way too much and it's ruined my life. I've lost friends and family over drinking and I'm very lonely. There is nothing left for me to be happy about other than my cat. Sounds weird, but it's true. I just wanted to say sorry 2 any people I ever hurt in my life. I really was a good person when I wasn't drinking. I hope people remember that!
Goodbye!!!
Kenny Johannemann"
On a separate sheet was a plea:
"Please find my cat a home. His name is Papa-Boy and he's a very special cat."
After Kenny Johannemann shot himself, relatives found a letter on White House stationery in the one-room apartment he shared only with his cat.
October 31, 2001
Dear Kenny,
We send you our heartfelt thanks and the thanks of a grateful Nation for your selfless efforts in responding to the tragic events of Sept. 11. Your actions in the midst of this national tragedy were truly heroic. Your saving a man who was on fire by dragging him out of an elevator and getting him to an ambulance reflected the best of the American spirit.
Sincerely,
George Bush

Johannemann was a part-time janitor assigned to clean rest rooms in the north tower on 9/11 and was, indeed, credited with saving a man.
His family says that day changed him, that he became withdrawn and began drinking heavily, falling in and out of work.
Twelve days before the seventh anniversary of the day he saved a life, Johannemann took his own.
The police then vouchered another letter, the suicide note the 43-year-old wrote on Sunday afternoon, shortly before the 5 p.m. deadline his landlord had set for him to vacate for nonpayment of rent.
The police brought Papa-Boy to the 122nd Precinct stationhouse on Staten Island. The tabby was trembling when one of Johannemann's cousins, Gerald Maya, picked him up. Maya also collected Johannemann's cell phone. He dialed every number in it to pass on the tragic news.
"Everybody I called on his cell phone said, 'I would have given him the money. The guy was beautiful.'" Maya said Wednesday. "Nothing bad on this man."
Maya had offered Johannemann a place to stay, as had another cousin who lived nearby.
Johannemann had declined.
"I really can't tell you why," Maya said.
The other cousin, Joseph Maya, spoke of the Johannemann before 9/11; a man who seemed content in his work and who delighted in his extended family.
"He had a job and he was happy," Joseph Maya said.
Johannemann often said he might have been killed on 9/11 had he not stopped to get a cup of coffee just before the plane hit.
Otherwise, he might have been on an elevator when a jet crashed and flaming fuel poured down the shaft.
Instead, he was waiting for an elevator when he heard a huge bang and the doors burst open. A man tumbled out on fire and Johannemann helped him to an ambulance.
"He was burned up bad but he was still alive," Johannemann told People magazine.
In the aftermath, Johannemann appeared on the "Jenny Jones Show" and received the letter from the White House. Privately, the hero became a reclusive alcoholic.
"He just started backing away and not bothering with anyone," Joseph Maya recalled.
He avoided family, even on the holidays he had always loved. He seemed convinced he was friendless and alone.
"He said he had nobody, but meanwhile everybody loved him," Joseph Maya said.
In May, he moved into a single room on Rome Ave. He landed a job as a custodian at a Manhattan museum two weeks ago, but he had fallen two months behind on his rent. The landlord, Anthony Mallazzi, told him to be out by 5 p.m. Sunday.
As the deadline neared, one of Mallazzi's sons heard a sound like a popping paper bag. Mallazzi arrived home soon afterward and went to see if his tenant had moved out. The door was open.
"I said, 'Kenny? Kenny?'" Mallazzi recalled.
Mallazzi entered and saw Johannemann. Nearby lay the two letters, the one on White House stationery and the suicide note.
"He was a 9/11 hero," Mallazzi said Wednesday. "He saved a person on 9/11."
Mallazzi paused.
"Who the hell's to blame?" Mallazzi said. "I feel a little guilty. Everybody feels a little guilty."
On Wednesday, Johannemann was waked at a Brooklyn funeral home.
Papa-Boy was at the cousin's house, cowering in corners, but beginning to venture out.
"At least he stopped shaking," Gerald Maya said.
"What floor were you on?"
"B-2....... In the basement"
- The only people to die in the 1993 World Trade Centre Bombing were all custodial and maintenance staff.
- All 6 died together in the Basement on level B-3, enjoying their lunch-break in the custodial staff room.
- Ramsey Yousef's Ryder Truck Bomb failed to compromise the core support column just outside he hoped would collapse one or both of the Twin Towers, rising from the pavement 70 feet above the staff room.
Custodians and on-site WTC Maintenance people are crucial 9/11 witnesses, as they would have intimate and detailed first hand knowledge of both occupancy levels and individual tenants within the complex on the day of the Towers' collapse, any strange activity within the complex in the days and weeks prior to the Towers' destruction and any unusual comings and goings or last minute relocations of either tenants individual departments or personnel.
They were subject to privilaged and arcane information.
