From Sean Lai (class of 1965)

Thanks David and Robert for your sharing on the passing of beloved Mr. Lowcock.
Though I do not feel I know Mr. Lowcock that well, I feel that he did a wonderful job for DBS at an important turning point from 1960’s to 1970’s in the school’s history. His vision for education took DBS leaps and bounds into the future, and decidely different from the other parochial schools of the same era. His emphasis on freedom to think, daring to try new approaches, greater emphasis on sports/ athletics and music, made us DBS students different from most other students in HK. At least we can tell from first hand experience that we were better prepared for college and careers in different parts of the world, though more recently we had witnessed some centripedal flow of talents towards HK and China.
Of course, there were many, especially the sports talented, who found wonderful guidance and nurturing by Mr. Lowcock. Those of us active in music would also agree that Mr. Lowcock had always been very supportive of all round education, and freedom to pursue our passion and dreams.
He made a big difference in the lives of many of us, and we are always grateful to him!
With a heavy heart and sincere appreciation,
Sean Lai (class of 1965)

Rest in peace, Mr Lowcock. Tribute to you for touching all our hearts in big & small ways over the years; mine was taking an eye opening trip to Africa instead of having school exams 34 years ago. Your wisdom & vision will be remembered.

With deepest sympathy and condolence to the family.

Jimmy’s Passing – Gail and Richard Bohr

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

St. Paul, Minnesota
