As a well deserved homage, the Specialized Library of the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations now bears the name of Engineer Jorge Eduardo Corradine Garavito.

In statements full of nostalgia and affection, the Executive Secretary, Dr. Claudino Pita, Mrs. Maria Eugenia; her children and friends, expressed their recollections of the father, the man, the professional and friend which each of them found in Jorge Eduardo Corradine, who fought a merciless battle against Amiotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and passed away on February 26, 2005.

Through his resolution and innovative spirit, the institution achieved a position of excellence.
