Bruce Manintveld Obituary, In-law Of Current B12.1 & B19.4 Coach And Committee Member Has Died

Bruce Manintveld Obituary, Death – It is with profound sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Bruce Manintveld, a beloved member of our community. In a tragic turn of events during the recent Victorian storm on Tuesday, Bruce Manintveld’s life was abruptly taken from us

Remembering Bruce Manintveld: Bruce, who was married to Fiona, leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories. He was not only a brother-in-law to our esteemed B12.1 & B19.4 Coach and Committee Member, Keith Baker, but also an uncle to Jack and Luke. Bruce was deeply connected to the basketball community, through his wife Fiona’s involvement. Fiona had a rich history with the sport, having played all her Junior Domestic Basketball with the Ferntree Gully Falcons and Representative Basketball with the Knox Raiders. Bruce’s presence and support were felt by many within these circles.

Standing in Solidarity: During this time of immense grief, our hearts go out to the extended Baker family. In an effort to honor Bruce’s memory and show solidarity with the Baker family, we kindly request all Falcons teams to wear black armbands during their games this coming Saturday and Sunday. We are grateful for the approval of Knox Basketball in this matter.

Call to Action:  To facilitate this tribute, we ask all Team Managers to arrange for black tape. Should there be any financial constraints in obtaining these armbands, please reach out to us at secretary@ftgfalcons.com.au for reimbursement. Your support during this challenging period is deeply appreciated. As we come together to mourn the loss of Bruce, let us also celebrate the life he lived and the impact he made on those around him. May his memory continue to inspire us all.
