JFK Jr. is alive... I have seen to many photos to believe otherwise. There has been some videos on it, and dis-information too, at the same time: All the conversations about the Jr. not being used after his fathers death is just preference. I choose to always use Jr. even though my father passed about 10 years ago. There is no rule "that i know of" that sais the Jr. should be dropped. Many guys i know still use it in thier name for rememberance.
