From the History of a Safer World: The great man died on December 31st, 2012. He was often called "The Software Playboy" and local obituraries described his social life as "one that would make Hugh Hefner blush." Who was Dennis Rene Morin? He was named one of the 50 greatest entrepreneurs in automation history (Bill Gates was another). When starting Wonderware, he told prospective employees "Listen, I don't know what I'm doing, but its going to be a great company." They listened, they followed, and made money. Wonderware became a great company, creating thousands of jobs and millions in new wealth worldwide. Not bad for an idea conceived in the founder's bedroom.
