A trip that was intended to celebrate the ninth birthday of the couple’s middle child ended up being the family’s final moments. Shortly before the flight over the towering skyscrapers of New York City took off, a photo shows Agustin Escobar flashing a thumbs-up while his wife and children beamed big smiles. Despite the tragedy, relatives of the Barcelona family on Tuesday recalled the joy that their lost loved ones gave them and the family’s love for life. Several dozen people watched the nearly two-hour service on screens set up outside the front entrance of the church, which had reached capacity. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Escobar was global CEO of rail infrastructure at Siemens Mobility while Merce Camprubi Montal worked for Siemens Energy, a separate company. Camprubi Montal’s grandfather was a former president of the famous Barcelona FC soccer club. Their children Agustin, Merce and Victor were 10, 9 and 4. The service ended with photos displayed of the family during previous holidays and at family gatherings. As family and friends recalled happier moments in the Barcelona family’s life, the song playing was Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”
