Anthony Pecoraro is fixing up a motorized wheelchair that may turn out to be the biggest gift of all.

"You know, do good for others and it will come back to you," said Pecoraro.

The chair belonged to Pecoraro's late father. When he passed away, the family tried to sell it.

"We put the chair on Craigslist and thought, OK, we'll sell it for a cheap price, but there were no takers," Pecoraro said.

The chair sat in the garage for years until recently when Pecoraro's mother saw a story on Bay News 9 about Salvatore Gambino, a Clermont man whose own wheelchair was stolen.

The Pecoraro's said suddenly everything clicked.

"We heard about an old man whose wheelchair was stolen and I had one from my father and we figured what better thing to do than give it to him," Pecoraro said. "So this must be meant to be."

They contacted Gambino's family offering to give them the wheelchair for free.

Wednesday night, the Gambino's arrived at the Pecoraro's house to take them up on that offer.

Gambino's daughter, Josephine, said her father suffered a stroke but loves to be active.

"Everybody in Clermont knows him," Josephine said. "They go 'oh the little old man in the wheelchair' because he just goes around for three hours, four hours, he loves it. So not being able to do that, he gets depressed."

Gambino struggled to keep his emotions in check, overcome by the generosity.

"Thank you! Thank you very much," Gambino said.

The Gambinos said it would have cost them several thousand dollars to replace the stolen wheelchair.

Clermont Police have not arrested anyone yet for stealing the chair.
