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.

Dear old boys:
I am sorry to inform you that our beloved headmaster passed away peacefully at 1343 this afternoon at Tseung Kwan O Hospital. His relatives wish me to give thanks to all those who have been helping to search for the best medical advices for him during the critical moments. He experienced a serious heart attack and lost consciousness soon after he was admitted to the hospital yesterday. The bright side was that he did not suffer from any pain and he was surrounded by many friends, old boys and relatives. Ronnie Cheng the next headmaster of DBS led us sing the school hymn and offer a prayer at the memorial room of the hospital. It was a very touching moment for everyone.
Mr Lowcock will be sadly missed.
Still remember that he allowed me to organize a remote controlled car competition for the whole school when I just entered form 1 as a freshman.
He gives kids opportunities and nurtured entrepreneurs. This is one lesson that I will always remember.
“Education is what you remember after you forget everything that you learned from school.” Albert Einstein.
Rest in peace, dear Headmaster
