Bobby is quite different from the other men in Tony Soprano's crew. Bobby is quiet, almost shy, sweet and even-tempered. He is a big guy, which brings him much ridicule, but he is very loyal and even Tony apologizes after making cracks about his weight (which Bobby reported as 265lb recently, probably down from years past). Bobby operates Junior Soprano 's Loan Shark business in his stead and also acts as Junior's assistant while he is under house arrest on federal Racketeering charges. Junior eventually rewards him by making him Capo of his crew during the later part of his prosecution. Bobby was very loyal to his wife, Karen, and was the only made man in the Soprano crew without a ''goomah'' (a girl on the side). However, Bobby lost his wife in a car accident and took it especially hard. Following Karen's death, Janice Soprano actively pursued Bobby, trying to help him out as much as possible (with cooking and watching over Bobby's two children) but also to trying to initiate a relationship with him. Despite Bobby's initial reluctance, the two were soon married and now have a daughter, Domenica. He also enjoys playing with model trains. Since 2001, when he assisted Tony in rescuing Christopher and Paulie from the Pine Barrens, Bobby has grown closer to Tony. Additionally, as Ralph Cifaretto put it, "dating the boss's sister will help a made man's career"; nevertheless, Tony has recently stepped up his expectations of Bobby, whom he felt was taking their newfound family relationship as an excuse not to earn at a competitive level, compared to his fellow capos.
