Industry members are extending condolences to the friends and family of John Warren Woodall, who passed away on November 10, 2019. John was an integral member of Springer Equipment Company and was loved by everyone who knew him.

John Woodall, aged 59 at the time of his passing, had been a Springer employee for over 25 years.

On its Facebook page, Springer notes that John joined the company in 1995 and served as department manager for parts, service, safety and IT.

"In many ways, John served as an architect of the company and helped shape who we are.

"We are forever grateful to John for his hard work, commitment and his knowledge of our
industry.

"He enjoyed this business and made many friends along the way," his colleagues say.

One of those friends, Chris Thomas, wrote on John's online memorial wall that he has lost one of his best friends. "For over 30 years, we worked together in this industry and we always had each other's back. ... He will surely be missed."
