His other interests included bowling, cooking, gardening and growing the hottest peppers he could for his homemade barbecue sauce.
As well as his hobbies, Mr. Thompson was also a volunteer at Chester Friends of the Animals.
In paying tribute to him, the charity's assistant manager, Amanda, said he had supported them from the beginning.
"He had given many hours towards the charity's mission and success and will be missed by many," she said.
Mr. Thompson's cremation took place at South Eastern Crematory.
His family from England travelled to Chester to pay tribute to "a loving brother and uncle" and arrange a small family memorial.
They would like to thank Chester County Coroner Terry Tinker and Deputy Coroner Jenifer Minors, Chester Friends of the Animals, the Chester mail service, neighbors and family friend Rosita Adams for their kindness and support at such a difficult time.
