"He created a pleasant work environment, really encouraging you to really do your best," said Les Partridge of Plano, whom Mr. Carrington hired in 1987. Mr. Carrington later worked as an operations manager at Key Systems in Plano until March. Mr. Carrington served as president of the Dallas chapter of the Association of Government Accountants from 1988 to 1989. He served as regional vice president of the association from 1991 to 1993.
