Adina Azarian, 49, a top real-estate agent in East Hampton and Manhattan, was adopted 9 years ago by business magnate John Rumple and his wife Barbara after an accidental meeting.
The victims aboard the Cessna Citation included a caretaker from Jamaica known for her generous portions of plantain porridge. Another was a luxury real estate broker, returning from a family visit with her 2-year-old daughter. The man behind the controls of the plane was a skilled aviator with decades of experience. All four died Sunday after the jet lost contact with air traffic controllers on a planned flight to New York.
