3. The father must still be living.
I've heard that technically all the same named relatives must be living for you to need to use jr., III, etc. But people don't really practice that. They just keep going with the numbers. I've known someone who was a XII. I think it's neater that way.

I think it means the father must still be living, in order to use Junior. Basically, for there to be a Junior, there should be a Senior who is living, bearing the identical name, is how I interpreted it.
I knew a guy who was the IV with his name. His dad went by III, and they never used Sr/Jr. I thought it was cool too. But I am still pretty glad I don't have to call my husband, his father, and my son by the same first name =)
