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.

We are sorry to inform you of the peaceful pass-away of our beloved and respected
Further information on funeral and memorial service will be announced soon
May God's blessings and our prayers be with his family and loved ones!
Your eulogy on Mr. Lowcock made me cry.
He was my first physics teacher and his first lessons laid the foundation of my whole engineering career.
More importantly, his way of life as he lived it as my teacher, formed my attitude and values in later life.
Like you say, I remember him and I miss him. I am very fortunate that I could (with my late wife at the time) meet him again
By the way, my christian name "Bernard" was chosen for me by Mr. Lowcock before I left for Canada in 1958.
With gratitude,
Kansai

Dear Jay;
Just returned from a cruise trying to delete the undeletable memories of my wife. Here I am struck
with another sad news. The emotional eulogy you wrote about my favourite teacher at DBS is very
touching and brought back the images of the beautiful past. His stimulating lectures in physics
are partly responsible for the ultimate selection of engineering science as my professional career.
We are all very fortunate to have encountered a teacher of such a high calibre and dedication.

Dear Jay,
I ran for DBS when I was in F5, and under his encouragement, our 4x100m relay team beat the Queen's team
and took the first place, and my 100m dash I came third while our F4 boy - I wish I remember his name - took the first.
That year (1955) our school took both the A and B team cup.
He fulfilled the highest ideal as a Teacher.
during the 140th anniversary banquet of our school.
=========================
Apart from being remembered as Headmaster, a lot of us will also remember
Mr. Lowcock as our most respected Form Master.
