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.

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to Mr. Lowcock’s family and loved ones.
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.

Jimmy Lowcock succeeded not only as a great Headmaster, but also as one who has earned the love and respect of the highest order from students of his and other eras.
A hard act to follow indeed.

You have taught me to be strong, by placing me to excel in sports-Discus, Javelin and shot-putt!
You have taught me team play–in the cricket games where I was the opening bowler for DBS!
You have taught me to recognize right and wrong–I was canned by you! Thank you!
And in life, and after life, you will always be in my heart.
Thank you for the good memories of my years in Diocesan Boy’s School!
I am deeply saddened at your passing away.
Love,
Borjie
Jimmy (Mr. Lowcock) will be dearly missed. The image of him sitting on the roof of the dormitory in the middle of the night still remains vividly in my mind.
