We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. A man of quiet strength and gentle spirit, he found joy in the simple beauty of nature and the nurturing rhythm of gardening. His hands, skilled from years of work as a mechanic, not only repaired cars but also cultivated life in the soil, tending to his garden with the same care and dedication he gave to his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, his cherished two sons, daughter in law and two adored grandchildren, each of whom carry forward his legacy of love, resilience, and appreciation for the natural world. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will continue to bloom in the hearts of those who knew him. Visitation: Friday, September 26th, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM St Thomas Malankara Orthodox Church 109 SE 10th Avenue, Pompano Beach, FL 33060 Church Service: Friday, September 26th, 2025 at 10:00 AM St Thomas Malankara Orthodox Church 109 SE 10th Avenue Pompano Beach, FL 33060
