George Francis Nick served in the U.S. Army.
Vehicular assault
Police Officer George Nick succumbed to injuries a week later while trying to pull over a transit bus for a traffic violation near the intersection of 29th Street and Clementine Street.
As he caught up to the bus the driver swerved the bus in front of him causing him to crash. He was taken to Samaritan Hospital where he sustained a fractured skull and spine. The driver of the bus was charged with manslaughter due to Officer Nick's death.
Officer Nick was a U.S Army veteran of WWI and had served with the Philadelphia Police Department for 15 years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Police Officer Nick gave the Philadelphia Police Department 15 years.
Thank you for your service to the Philadelphia community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
