Mr. S.J.Lowcock had made such a difference in so many DBS boys’ lives. We will never forget his sense of humour and sarcism. Now, he is one with God and amongst those who do not grow old, as we grow old, and those who do not suffer, as we suffer. R.I.P.
In the morning of my life I shall look to the sunrise.
At a moment in my life when the world is new.
And the blessing I shall ask is that God will grant me,
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.
In the noontime of my life I shall look to the sunshine,
At a moment in my life when the sky is blue.
And the blessing I shall ask shall remain unchanging.
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through
In the evening of my life I shall look to the sunset,
At a moment in my life when the night is due.
And the question I shall ask only I can answer.
Was I brave and strong and true?
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?
Goodbye, Mr. Lowcock
Thank you for everything.
蝦餃 was the most DBS DBS boy 最拔萃的拔萃仔. In his times as the HM, boys from all walks of life, richer or poorer families, had chances of living and studying together, learning to respect each other, and doing their best in life in an honorable DBS way.
Lowcock is dearly missed.
Lee Wai Wo, Stephen (cert year 1972)
Even though I had not have much interaction with you when I was at school, your impression on me had been immense as a fair, caring, dedicated and much respected headmaster. You had guided our school with your heart and made DBS the school it is now. You will be sorely missed by the DBS family. Rest in peace, Mr. Lowcock.

亦師亦友虾餃佬
Mr.James Lowcock 上唇蓄了鬍子, 被同學冠以虾餃佬雅號.
虾餃佬一詞, 不褒不貶, 正好帶出了一個人的風格與氣質.
我就讀DBS期間, 校長是MR. Goodban, 虾餃佬是物理課老師, 他說話流暢,
詞鋒厲害, 富有幽默感, 上他的課, 沒有冷場, 不會打瞌睡. 教學態度靈活,
不會照課本讀, 不主張死讀書.
理科通常是學生們望而生畏的科目.不是受了他的感染,
相信我班不會有那麼眾多傑出的理科生,
50年代, 喇沙和DBS在校際田徑賽場中是一對歡喜寃家,
但不幸得很, 喇沙學校擁有Xavier和更多優秀好手, DBS常給比下去.
Xavier當年是100公尺, 200公尺, 全港紀錄保持者, 加上接力賽, 跳遠等項,
單是Xavier一人巳為喇沙拿下不少分數.
這時候, 虾餃佬不是體育老師, 但誰都看得出他在竭力培訓田徑運動員的努力和苦心,
風氣的持續, 終於有所收成, 創就了近40年來 [可能更多屆]
DBS在校運體育的輝煌成就. 錦標,勝利, 不需推崇, 維其Spirit, 積極,
參與態度, 就應該永記. 體育活動, 鍊就學子們堅毅, 上進, 奮鬥, 努力,
不畏失敗等等良好品格, 最值得DBS引以為榮.
馮以浤在閒談時, 曾經提及 Lowcock俠義為懷, 經常資助貧困學生,
使他們能夠完成學業, 一度弄至自己退休時幾乎財困. 但人間有情, 世間有義,
喜聞有一位學生, 樂助Lowcock 晚年生活. 這一個過程,
相信任何一個愛護這尊貴老師的人,都感到欣慰.
Mr. James Sidney Lowcock 亦師亦友,令人深切懷念.
