WILMINGTON--A member of the Wilmington 10 passed away.

Connie Tindall died Friday, at the age of 62.

"It's like losing a part of your limb, losing a member of your family, Mr. Tindall was someone who all of us loved, we had great affection for. He was like the backbone for our cause to gain pardons of innocence for each and every member of the Wilmington 10,” said Cash Michaels, Pardon Project Coordinator.

Four members of the group have now passed away.
