Will also shared that, despite his dad’s fame, Christopher always prioritized parenting above all else. However, he noted that his father’s paralysis placed limitations on the spontaneous activities they could have enjoyed together as a family.
“That could be difficult, but my parents did such a good job of staying true to their values that I never felt deprived of a normal childhood, even though my experiences, at face value, were inherently different from other children my age,” said Will.
While Will’s parents didn’t live long enough to see him grow up, Dana Reeve had thoughtfully planned for her son’s future before her passing. She chose their neighbors, Ralph and Ann Pucci, to adopt Will, ensuring he would be cared for by people she trusted.
The couple, who have two children of their own, Nicole and Michael Pucci, warmly welcomed Will into their family. Will also received strong support from the wider community during this challenging time.
Will expressed how much of an impact they had on his life growing up. “They took me in, and they loved me, not even like a son, they loved me, and do love me, as a son. The Puccis are my family and they always will be. […] When I say ‘I’m going home’ – it’s their house,” he said.
