For decades, his printing business served the Bay Area and the community in a wonderful way. Jeffrey managed to do something very special by becoming a critical element in the success and survival of many small businesses, many non-profits and even many public agencies and corporations.

Dennis was born to Fannie and Robert Jeffrey, Sr. in Oakland, CA on March 11, 1955. He was raised in Oakland and attended Oakland Public Schools and the College of Alameda.

He was that printer that you could go to when you had a tough job to complete, and you were up against a short timeline. His ultimate goal was to please his customers.

Printing was something Dennis knew very well and something he loved. He had been in the business for close to 50 years. When Dennis began his career, he was one of a few African Americans with vast experience as a press foreman, running web presses (the big presses that newspapers are printed on) for two of the largest Black newspapers in the country, Reporter Publications, which published the Sun Reporter and the California Voice, and the Philadelphia Tribune.

In 1991, Dennis stepped out on faith and started his own business, The Print Shop, which successfully met the multiple needs of the community.

He leaves to cherish his memories his father, Robert; twin sister Denise (Vernon); brothers Robert Jr., and Ronald (Renae); sister: Karen (Jeffery) and a host of nieces, nephews, loved ones, and friends.

A memorial service will be held on April 14, 2023, at Beth Eden Baptist Church at 10^th and Adeline at 11:00 a.m.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
