It is with sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of Bruce Manintveld, who was tragically killed during the recent Victorian storm on Tuesday.

Bruce is the brother in law of current B12.1 & B19.4 Coach and Committee Member, Keith Baker and uncle to Jack and Luke.

Bruce was married to Fiona, who played all her Junior Domestic Basketball with the Ferntree Gully Falcons and Representative Basketball with the Knox Raiders.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the extended Baker family in this difficult time.

In memory of Bruce and to show our support to the Baker family, we would ask that all Falcons teams wear black armbands for their games this coming Saturday and Sunday. This has been approved by Knox basketball

Can all Team Managers please arrange for black tape. If you require reimbursement for this cost, please email secretary@ftgfalcons.com.au. Thank you for your support.
