We Remember Rita

On Saturday, October 4, 2025, friends and family gathered at the Assumption Catholic Church in Pompano Beach to celebrate the memory of our dear friend and long-time USA Dive Club member, Rita Balogh.  Rita was the beloved wife of Dr. Rick Brohammer, the Club’s most senior member.

After a touching memorial mass, everyone came together in the church’s reception hall.  We shared laughter, stories, and fond memories, surrounded by the warmth of Rita’s friends and family. 

Below are the details we previously shared with Club members.

“Rita Balogh passed away at home on Friday, September 19, 2025.  She is survived by the Club’s most senior member, her loving husband, Dr. Rick Brohammer, and his three children, Rick II, Rory, Renee, and grandchildren.   

Rita joined the USA Dive Club in 1994 and became an enduring, joyful part of our community from the start.  Her enthusiasm for social gatherings, local dives, and overseas adventures was truly contagious.  We will forever cherish Rita’s warmth and the happiness she brought to each of us.
