Eh I wouldn't really consider Richie unlucky, he brought most of his troubles on himself by being a hothead and not respecting authority because he still considered Tony some punk and not the boss.

I would definitely say beansie. Sure he was no saint lol but to be run over and paralyzed by psycho Richie was extreme even for an associate like him. I mean the guy had to piss in a bag the rest of his life. And for what? Cause he didn't kick up some pizza $ to Richie?

Bobby Bacala's kids.
Lose both their parents, then get stuck with Janice?
That's a fate worse than death. When Bobby was killed in "The Blue Comet," that scene where they're sitting on that couch in the living room was really sad. Definitely those kids. . Now Janice is their only parent. . Talk about unlucky. .....

I've read this thread several times trying to think of who I would deem to the unluckiest. For the following reasons, I'd say Bobby Bacala was the unluckiest guy on the show.
Did Bobby have it bad all the time? Absolutely not. But we first meet Bobby in Season 2 after Tony meets with Junior in prison. Tony orders Junior to have Bobby come out from hiding after Tony wiped out nearly all of Junior's important crew, namely Chucky & Mikey. After getting demeaned by Tony at the meeting, Bobby states that he "inherited" Junior and giving the impression that he was never happy about it.
Then for the next few years, Bobby is essentially nothing more than Junior's caretaker. Not the worst thing in the world, but certainly not a position where could move up and be a good earner.
In Season 3, things really start to go downhill for Bobby when his wife Karen is killed in a car accident and then he loses his father. Bobby is overwhelmed with grief at the loss of Karen. And to me, his life gets even worse when he starts a relationship with Janice.
Throughout the series, Bobby is repeatedly mocked and belittled by Tony. Their relationship reached a decent level by Season 6, but then Bobby is shot dead near the end.

"" Last week, during a shoot on the set of the HBO series, a young cast member got a taste of what it would be like to be a real mobster when an accident threatened to take away his eyesight. Vinnie Orofino, an actor who normally serves as a member of the series' production crew, was shooting a scene on location in New Jersey. His character, Bryan Spatafore, was supposed to get hit in the head with a golf club. Of course, the production team had a prosthetic head on hand that would allow for the closeup shot to show what a noggin might look like after being hit by the club. Wielding the club was cast member Brian Tarantina, who plays Mustang Sally. According to sources, Tarantina swung the club at Orofino with the intention of missing him. Instead, he caught Orofino in the eye. Orofino is recuperating at home in bed and I hear he's not allowed to move. Sources say it may be a while before doctors know whether he'll lose sight in that eye. A rep for HBO asserted that Orofino will suffer no permanent damage. "He received immediate medical attention and is expected back at work this week," says the rep." http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/gossip/sopranos-set-mishap-injures-actor-eye-article-1.880718
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

At least he made a full recovery.
I'd say the unluckiest was Uncle June. Going to end up dying in that horrible place, broke, alone, no recollection of who he was or his family....dignified guy like that can't even remember how to use the bathroom by himself. He wasn't necessarily a good guy, but he didnt deserve that fate. We don't see older Junior really doing anything horrible. Most of the people he ordered killed in season 1 were people that had it coming. For the rest of the series, he was pretty much shelved, until he started to lose it. He shoots Tony but I think that was more due to mental illness. Younger Junior was a different animal, though. Holding Mr. Satriale down while Johnny chops his fingers off. Satriale was just short on cash. They could have just taken the butcher shop, which they did anyway. Cutting off his fingers was wanton and brutal. So, I think Junior did deserve his fate. His was more benevolent in his senior years but his past still caught up with him.
