| Principal Morse Communications
| Neil J. Morse, 62, passed away at his home in Connecticut on April 27, 2012. He was principal of Morse Communications in Newtown, Connecticut, an editorial and marketing communications firm primarily serving the U.S. mortgage industry. He established the firm in 2000 on the strength of previous career experience in marketing communications, and a more recent stint as executive editor of mortgage/finance publications.
Morse regularly contributed feature-length articles to Mortgage Banking and MBA NewsLink, InmanNews and MortgageDaily.com, and served as editor of Equity Magazine, the member publication of the former National Home Equity Mortgage Association (NHEMA).
While attending college, Morse conducted art auctions at resort hotels in New York. In his professional career, he was a daily newspaper reporter and edited a consumer electronics newsletter, where he coined the term “camcorder” to describe the industry’s first one-piece unit for video recording.
He held a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in communications from Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut, where until his death he was an adjunct faculty member teaching courses in persuasion, mass media and society, and human communication.
