I feel that I have lost part of me and my memory, it just like losing a fatherly relative.
Headful of memorable flashbacks
Heartful of deep gratitude
Heavy indebtedness
Mr. Lowcock, thank you for being there
You touched and changed my life
You gave me my first instrument
One of your many who had received,
Peter Kwok, (Class ’65)
Jimmy must be the most friendly and caring non-Chinese that I knew of at that time growing up.
I still remember the time he caught me roller skating through the main boy,s latrine next to the covered playground (playing catch on roller skates) and instead of flagging me down, smiled and instead said ” Hurry up, they are on your tail “. That is around 1963.
We all admire and love this principle of ours dearly. May he rest in peace.

Sad to learn that our beloved headmaster has passed away. He gave us an education beyond books and knowledge. He taught us how to think and reason. He inspired us to be a good citizen of the world.
He will be missed as he moves on to his next journey. However his spirit and legacy will last forever.
Best wishes to his beloved family

Gail and I are deeply saddened by the news of Jimmy’s passing. We feel blessed to have been inspired by him when we were part of the DBS community in 1972-74.
I learned a great deal from Jimmy about what it means to be a dedicated teacher and have endeavored to pass on this precious legacy in my subsequent college teaching career in the U.S.
Jimmy’s lasting legacy is reflected in the lives and dedication of so many DBS old boys in Hong Kong and around the world. He was a gift to so many, and the world is a better place because of him.
The Bohr family send its deepest condolences to Jimmy’s family and friends.
As ever,
Gail and Richard Bohr

It is such a devastating news to hear that our beloved and respected Headmaster – Mr. S. J. Lowcock had passed away at TKO Hospital this afternoon. Though Mr. Lowcock will no longer be with us, his spirit and his teachings will forever live.
May Mr. Lowcock rest in peace!

It is with profound sadness that we received the news that Mr. SJ Lowcock has departed and we won’t have the opportunity to express our gratitude to him in person. Our hearts are filled with fond memories from our days at DBS which were made possible only because of Mr. Lowcock’s dedication to the school that he loved so much and the students that he cared about deeply. Farewell, Mr. Lowcock, we will continue to carry the torch you have passed on to us.
