Jorge Ortega, 61, suffered severe head injuries after being assaulted at Ilford station at around 8.50pm on Wednesday, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
Ayodele Jamgbadi, 28, has been charged in connection with the incident.
In a statement released by BTP on Saturday, Mr Ortega’s family said: “Our dad was the most loving person, the kindest soul you could have the pleasure of meeting. Everyone who has met our dad or who has ever worked with him over the years will tell you this.
“He had a brilliant mind, enjoyed cooking, loved drawing and was highly skilled in art. He was an amazing family man and would always put other people first. He loved his grandchildren and, in turn, they adored our dad.
