Turning on Squak around 5 this morning I never would have imagined I’d hear “we lost Mark last night” At the ripe age of 65, CNBC anchor Mark Haines, has passed.  He was the best in the business.  I didn’t know him personally but having watched him every morning for more than a decade, it feels awful to know he won’t be on tomorrow.

These 2 clips give you some insight in to the type of person and type of host he was. His heated interview with Barney Frank  and his touching goodbye to his long-time morning co-host Erin Burnett earlier this month…
