Joe Battipaglia died last month at age of 55. He was a frequent guest on CNBC

i might have to start watching bloomberg now, losing erin burnett and mark haines back to back leaves a void on cnbc during the time i normally watch it- and i don't think that new blond girl is very smart that i'm sure they are going to plug in there, likely with the brittish guy i also don't think is very smart.

Mark Hanes knew how to put things in perspective and was very witty. I remeber a couple times when he put CEO's in their place. He was a real person. After 7 years of watching him on Squawk Box I learned alot from him and how the old grey beards played the game. He can never be replaced.

Sad to hear of his passing. As for that clip, I loved watching him put barney the sicko in his place!

Yes;
especially as another CNBC employee said[on air,LOL]''Mark, you got a snack bar under your desk??''.

He was also pro in the sense he could talk quite clearly with his mouth part full of food. Few can do that

I agree with all those who speak on his wit. Very funny guy , hilarious when he checked some of his guest as shown by the B.Frank video.

What's wrong with the people of Massachusetts for electing that buffoon
over and over...My condolences to Mark's family
