Michael ROGERS Obituary

Is this the same Mike Rogers who once lived in Karori, Wellington around 1970's 80's. Was a Post Office cable jointer in Herd St. He had a kiln under his house - I think. He went to night school to learn about pottery. He was about 6ft odd tall slim build, sharp of wit, an unbelievable sense of humour, one of the great jointers I ever came across, very intelligent, a Liverpool soccer fan. Well if this is him - I am very sad he passed so young. He taught me a lot about myself and he sure made you think when he told you what was what. To all Mikes family I pass onto you my deepest condolences, I feel he was one of a kind. Best Wishes.

It's not the same without mike at the end of South Street. I used to run lots of things by him to see what he thought. was a great mentor. loved the sense of humour, and classic comments.

Oh my dear Barbara I am at a loss I can't believe Mike has passed away. I had no idea so I am so sorry for the late condolences. My thoughts and love are with you all. I will give you a call soon. xx Wendy Pahl (Wright/Curtis)

To Barbara & family

Our thoughts are with you & your family. We sure miss the big man with that colourful smile & banter we had with him & it will never be forgotten. The corner of South Street will never be the same. RIP Mike

Sometimes we wait to long. Went to see Mike after my daughter informed me he was not well but he was not at The South Street Gallery.
I worked with Mike in Wellington,for the Post Office (P&T) out of Herd St, in a Cable Fault Gang for a long period and we attended many social events as great mates. He had a special name for me but I would rather not repeat it.A great guy and as Don Adams says a true character. Not sure if you will need the sunglasses anymore mate. My condolences to the family on behalf of Tara my daughter and I.

My Gull with the golf ball in its bill that you wrapped and sent to me in Victoria, BC will be a constant reminder of a lovely man.

A huge loss to the people of Nelson. Mike always greeted you with a huge smile and lots of great stories. A big personality that will be very much missed. He was the heart and sole of South Street.

So sorry to hear of Mike passing away. He was certainly a character and we had so much fun back in the days with Telecom at Herd St., Wellington. God bless you Mike! MAGOO.

We will always remember Mike as the lovely guy in South Street Gallery. So so sad RIP Mike.

Absolutely hands down the best father in law one could ask for!
8.5 years ago I was welcomed into your home with your amazing sense of humour which made me feel straight at home, you helped me out a huge number of times over the years while morgan was away with work and the lawns needed doing or something needed to be fixed around the house, we Shared the same quirky dry humour which no one else has or understood therefore only you laughed at my jokes and mine with yours! That's what I'll definitely miss the most when walking into your home!
Thanks for being the best grandad to jack, taking him on adventures and allowing him to play in your car for hours on end! He also enjoyed the books you would read to him! It's breaks my heart that this grand baby number two is only days away from making an appearance and you couldn't be here to meet it but I know you will be watching from above!
I miss you every day there's now no one to hassle and take the Micky out of my husband with..... we made a great team hahahaha !!!! I am now out numbered
Thinking of you always I promise to make you proud and keep you in my children's memories
Love you always x

We will very much miss seeing you and having a wee chat as we walked pass the Gallery. You were very much a part of South St and all its residents love you! The go to guy, always there to help! We will remember you, end of a era

You where the best boss possible and the heart of St Street. I can't even recall how many years we went into St Street every weekend to say hi and check up on pots. I can't thank you enough for the years of weekend/holiday work that you gave to me that funded my education. You where generous and so easy to be around. Thanks for everything.
