Do you have a Mark Haines in your life?

You may not have heard of Mark Haines or maybe you do. I don’t know him personally but merely watched him on TV hosting this morning business channel for 3 years, Monday to Friday. I liked his soft-speaking yet assertive voice, his great investing knowledge and incisive analyses of daily market trends. For 3 years I’ve watched his show every morning and now I found out he passed away. So sad. I felt like this when Lady Di died and when I watch that Oscar segment where they show clips of those industry collegues who died that year. Why do certain deaths affect you deeply and others do not? Do you have anybody who died that made you feel this melancholic?
