Carl was born in Durham, NC to the late Carl Dawson Delamar and Norma Harrington Delamar. He is survived by his wife Kathie Bowman, son Warren Delamar and his beloved dog Banjo. Surviving Family members are sister Patricia Ridenhour and her husband Pastor David Ridenhour, nephew Chris Vowell and his wife Melissa Vowell, brother Bill Delamar, sister-in-law Linda Delamar, neice Jenna Delamar.
Carl was a graduate of NC State University with a BA degree in English and Wake Tech with an AS degree in Business Data Processing. After a 25 year career in Information Technology, he began a second 12 year career as business owner and proprietor of Wild Birds Unlimited in Chapel Hill.
Everyone who knew Carl was enriched by his gentle warmth, humor, intellect and kindness. Carl cherished his friends old and new. In retirement his curiosity led him to explore new skills and hone existing ones. He experimented with painting, learned to play piano and to read music. He was a voracious reader and privately prolific writer.
Carl was a loving husband, devoted father and a loyal friend. We are better people for having had him in our lives. We will miss him.
In lieu of flowers those wishing to honor Carl should contribute to a charity that is meaningful to them.
