This from the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition, page 563:
15.19 "Jr.," "Sr.," and the like. The abbreviations Jr. and Sr., as well as roman or arabic numerals such as II or 3rd, after a person's name are part of the name and so are retained in connection with any titles or honorifics. Note that these abbreviations are used only with the full name, never with the surname only. See also 6.49, 9.47.
Superstar Ken Griffey Jr. could not only hit a baseball, he knew something about composition and the English language.

Did you notice that these successful men are all black? As a rule of thumb, a white man named "Jr." will be a failure (his father having ONLY the name to pass on), while a black man named "Jr." will be a success (his father was THERE, unlike 70% of black dads).
