Timothy J. Coleman, former rising star of the U.S. Justice Department’s criminal division and a successful white-collar lawyer in private practice, was remembered this week as organized, devoted to his profession and brimming with humor and practical jokes.
He liked to wear Paul Stuart suits. He was drawn to foreign travel. And he was proud that the governor of his home state, Kentucky, once commissioned him a Kentucky Colonel, the state’s highest honorific, one also earned by fried chicken king Harlan Sanders.
