Copley remembered in U-T

In memoriam David Copley, the late Union-Tribune publisher who died at age 62 in a solo La Jolla crash of his Aston Martin on November 20, 2012 — almost four years after unloading the paper to Tom Gores, a Beverly Hills vulture capitalist — was recently remembered by an anonymous paid advertisement in the U-T’s obituary section.

“DCC you are so deeply missed,” said the message, featuring one of Copley’s famous red-velvet-jacketed, bow-tie party pictures. “J, B & R, S, C & I,” signed their initials to the note. “D says hi too.”
