Dear Mr. Scott and family,
My brother Luke & I send our love & sincere feelings of sadness for your loss. Scotty, my dad loved you as a brother therefore your children as his own family, but those who know you understand why. I have wonderful memories up at Lake Wallenpaupack as a small child & it is because of you & Phyllis that those memories exist. I wanted the family the Scott’s had. When I was growing up your family played a big part in our family. My daddy was your biggest fan Mr.Scott; He had big dreams (as I’m sure you did also) for Steve & Luke at CFP. After my mother passed away daddy was lost, she was his strength & moral compass.
Luke & I feel as though we have lost a brother in Steve. Our memories are ones filled with love & laughter. During these difficult times please know that you & your family are in our prayers. To John, Deb,Veronica,Chrissy & Kimmie, Luke & I can only imagine the pain of losing a sibling, thanks be to God, but one day it will happen that is why we all must express our love for eachother each & every day.
May the Lord bless you and keep you safe and strong,
                                                                 Our Sincerest Condolences & Love,
                                                                                                  The Ryan Family

I was truly shocked and saddened learning of Steve’s passing.  He was a great man and I am sure he will be missed by many.  I will never forget fishing on the Chesapeake! 
My sympathy goes out to everyone in the family and the company but a special note to Jack – I value the years of our business relationship and am glad to call you a friend.  You have had quite a ride through life and one of your greatest accomplishments was Steve!

Steve…Roughly 17 years ago, you invited me up to your cabin for a couple days of grouse hunting. It was my first real introduction to bird dog hunting and wasn’t sure what to expect, especially after my 6 hour drive in a blizzard,  sharing a bench seat of a pickup truck….with Dan and Jeff. 
 We hunted in 5 degree temperatures in over a foot of snow and flushed tons of birds. The weather, the dogs, the company of the crew that I really didn’t know well at all. Well, makes it still rememberable to this day and I want to thank you for that. Thank you for introducing me to what became my passion.  The sport of upland hunting with a four legged friend. 
  May god bless your family.

It is with great sadness we learned of Steve’s passing on Monday.  We have had the pleasure of hunting with Steve in late December and January over the last 5 years.  His presence on the Cromwell farm will be sorely missed.

Thanks you Steve for all the great memories together.  We had many great days fishing for stripers on the flats and hunting pheasants at Martz’s game farm.  But most of all I will remember you for the honsest business man you were in all our projects.  You always took the high road and did what you said.  Thanks again and will will be missed in the construction world.
