Dear family of Erban Flinchum,
We are so sorry for your loss. Erban was a member of the Radford High School, Class of 1954. We had hoped, over the years, that Erban would return to Radford for one of our class reunions, but he never did. We just want you all to know that he was in our hearts and memories and we wish that he had been able to join us. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
