David Louis Maze

David was born December 3, 1934 in Warren, PA. He was the son of the late Stephen and Dorothy Nuhfer Maze. He attended school in Warren and enlisted in the US Army during the Korean War. While in the Army, he served as an infantryman in the 25th Infantry Division while stationed in Hawaii. He was discharged from active duty October 1956 and served an additional 10 years in the reserves on standby status. Jobs that he held after the Army included working as a chauffeur and handyman for Miss Anna Rockwell, working as a welder for PDM Steel where he helped create the Saint Louis Arch, working for PennDot and Struthers Wells, and finally the City of Warren Department of Public works where he retired in 1996. He was heavily involved in the community. He belonged to several organizations including the Chief Cornplanter drum and bugle corps, being a lifetime member of the Pennsylvania and Warren County Fire Police (where he served as a commissioner of both), being a lifetime member of the American Legion, lifetime member of the North Warren Volunteer Fire Department (where he held several offices and drove ambulance for 25 years), and a member of the Eagles club and Lakewood Rod and Gun Club. He was a member of the North Warren Presbyterian church. He enjoyed dancing, playing cards, and going to bingo several nights a week, and watching western movies. John Wayne was his favorite actor. His family always referred to him as the unofficial “mayor of North Warren”, due to being well acquainted with the entire community.
