Thankachen did his electrical training and having secured his diploma worked for the electrical board. He also worked in Saudi and in North India. He very much enjoyed reading about history and Pentecostal teachings even before converting to the Pentecostal faith. But what he loved most was being surrounded by his family especially his grandchildren.
He was a dedicated father, husband, and grandfather. He stayed strong to his Christian beliefs, holding on to God's promises and faithfulness.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Saramma Kuriakose and his children Anu, Sunu, and Linu. Their spouses are Benny, Biju, and Litty. Their grandchildren include Jobin, Nimmy, Shawn, Binitta, Anitta, Helna and Daniel.
Even though he was promoted to glory to be with his maker, he will be sorely missed by those he left behind. We will miss you appachan until we meet again.
