Dr. Biles occupies a coveted seat in the pantheon of physcians. I learned today (1/7/25) of his passing from another great surgeon who recently performed hernia repair for me. Dr. Biles operated on me 15 years ago. Pre-op he himself took some tissue for biopsy talking the whole time, largely as I recall, about how we humans were destroying the environment. Dr. Biles the teacher also taught me about the elasticity of the bladder, knowledge I came to use later in life as a young ER doctor said I didn't need a catheter but agreed to have one placed after I argued based on what Dr. Biles taught me. What impressed me most, however, was the call I received from Dr. Biles on Thanksgiving morning. As I recall the TURP was done that Monday and when I asked if could travel to NJ for Thanksgiving he said no. I don't know if he called just to check on my recovery or to make sure I didn't travel, or both, but clearly this was a man , a doctor, who cared. For all who knew and loved him I share the foregoing with deepest sympathy for your loss only to say that your father, husband, grandfather, sibling, friend made a difference in my life even as he set a standard of excellence.

I had the absolute pleasure and honor to work with Dr B for many years at his office both Glen Burnie and Annapolis. I will always treasure those memories.

I first met Jim in 1990, as I started a solo Urology practice after a 20 year military career . I was immediately impressed with his intelligence, friendly and gregarious nature and it was not too long before we collaborated in the OR on some difficult cancer operations. He was an excellent sturgeon with a vast medical knowledge and experience. We maintained close as friends and colleagues eventually founding Anne Arundel Urology combining his practice with Ray Herzinger and Ed Zagula with John Danneberger, Dave McHold , and myself in 1998. We remained close colleagues and our children grew up together on the lacrosse fields at Severn School. We share a unique experience in both having sons Michael Biles and David McDermott Jr who are partners and friends at AA Urology. Needless to say to say, this has for years generated affection, professional collaboration, and extraordinary pride .
Jim was a fabulous Doctor, Surgeon, Friend, Family man , Raconteur, Bon Vivant ,and lived life to the fullest. He will be missed and loved by All.
