On Thursday morning Echo Park lost one of its hero’s when Ron Emler passed away. Founder of the Echo Park Security Association, cofounder of the Echo Park Improvement Association and co-author of The Ghost of Echo Park, Ron was a tireless advocate for Echo Park. We’ll all miss Ron and his great travel postcards.

Update: Per Ron’s request no formal memorial will be held.
