A story of thanks and appreciation

Without You is a story of how each one of us has benefited from the helping hand of others — and that we have an obligation to pay it forward. Jeff Gueldner has lived this mantra. An all-state high school basketball player, an NCAA national champion, a successful businessman, Gueldner’s sweet joy of victory has been balanced by the pain of cancer, divorce and business failure. He credits the many people who have been with him through thick and thin. You will learn about them, what makes them special, and how they inspired him and others. His parents, Gary and Judy Gueldner; hall of fame coaches Larry Brown, Roy Williams, and Bill Self; teammates and friends Mark Randall, Kevin Pritchard, Chris Piper and Danny Manning; and others from all walks of life who supported him. Life isn’t always easy. Jeff Gueldner hopes the lessons he shares in Without You will make it easier and cause everyone who reads it to give credit where credit is due.
