Brett ROHLOFF Obituary

72 yrs. In Hamilton on 19 January 2026, after a brief illness. Beloved son of Maurice (dec) and Joan (dec). Treasured brother and brother-in-law of Maurie and Judy, Lynne and Ron (dec), Des, Danny (dec), Keith (dec), and Debbie. Beloved uncle, great-uncle, cousin, and friend. Our sincerest thanks to Waikato Hospital for their care and support. Most of Brett's working life was with New Zealand Post, where he became the youngest ever Postmaster at the time. Brett's wishes were no funeral. Private cremation held. Brett, we will miss your company, knowledge, wit, and sense of humour.

So very shocked and sad to hear of Brett´s passing. Back over 40 years ago he was a workmate at Centreplace Post Office who became a friend. He was such a character with the best sense of humour.Thinking of his family .

It was an absolute shock to hear of Brett's passing. He was a true friend who was always there to help me. We shared many meals together and it was always delightful to catch up with his many stories. I look at the chair where you often sat on a Saturday evening, I will fondly remember you. Sleep well my friend.

So deeply saddened to hear of Brett's passing. As an original member of the Centreplace crew, it has been a privilege, and a joy to have known Brett for the past 40 years. He was truly one of a kind, whose stories always managed to bring such laughter.

Devastated to hear of your passing Brett. You were the best boss I have ever had, and I doubt there will be another one better. You may be gone but those 40 years of great memories will live in.
