I had the chance to work with Jim back in 1989 till his retirement on Metro-north railroad. I was a young 19 yo kid and Jim and I hit it off. In the few short years we worked together he made a lasting impression on me till this day. They don't make men like Jim Nance anymore. Just a genuine good person. with character to match. He will be missed by all his fellow Metro North employees may you rest in peace Jim. and my condolences to your family.
