I learned this week that Sparky, beloved member of the Hofmann family, Mozilla icon, and all around good dog, has passed away.
He's seen as much of Mozilla as any one, from the Netscape campus, to our space on Villa Street, to the Landings buildings, and most recently, downtown Mountain View.
He was with us for the first Mozilla releases, for Firefox 1.0, and up through the most recent Firefox 3.5 release. He was known to many at Mozilla as a tenacious, and scrappy but fun terrier with a fiery (as in Firefox) personality.
We miss you Sparky, and we're thinking a lot about your human family and their loss. We love you all.
Rest in peace, Sparky.
Sparky, covering my duties at Mozilla while I take a break.
