Tim Coleman, founder of Southern Hydrovac in the Atlanta area, passed away Aug. 22 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Coleman, 55, was the subject of a Pumper profile story in September 2012. Coleman was a great proponent of professionalism in the industrial services industry, as you can see in this video produced as part of the contractor profile:

Coleman started Southern Hydrovac in 2000 and grew it to serve a wide variety of construction customers and utilities throughout the Southeast U.S. As he did in the video and the magazine story, Coleman was quick to credit his employees for repeat business the company enjoyed.

Coleman is survived by his wife, Tina Miller Coleman, sons Chris Shawn and Matthew Terry, daughter Rebecca Coleman Garner, a grandson, sister and twin brother.
