Videos of Yoseph Robinson's HY"D Funeral

Tearful mourners remembered Yoseph Robinson Monday night as a proud Jamaican - and a proud Jew - who turned his life around only to die at the hands of a gun-wielding thug.

Loved ones and friends filled a Brooklyn funeral chapel to eulogize Robinson as an inspiring figure who transformed his life through the Torah and died a hero protecting a co-worker from a cold-blooded robber. As the mourners paid homage, cops appeared to be closing in on the 34-year-old victim's killer. "May God avenge his death," a rabbi prayed over the plain wooden casket bearing Robinson's body. The rabbi said that in the afterlife Robinson will be named Yoseph Ha Tzdek - which means The Righteous.

Sobs of the grief-stricken echoed through the Orthodox chapel where women and men were divided by a traditional white curtain. Detectives think they know the name of the masked man who gunned down Robinson as he worked at MB Vineyards liquor store in Midwood Thursday night, but have yet to nab him, a police source said.
