It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of William “Bill” Madden, one of the most devoted and influential members in the history of Freehold EMS. Bill joined our organization in 1952 and dedicated more than 70 years of selfless service to the squad and the Freehold community.
Over the decades, Bill held nearly every leadership position imaginable—serving as President, Vice President, Chief, Trustee, Board Member, and mentor to countless members along the way. His leadership, wisdom, and quiet strength helped shape Freehold EMS into what it is today.
Bill’s impact can’t be measured by titles alone—he was a steady presence, a guiding voice, and a symbol of commitment to community and service. His legacy will live on in the stories we share, the values we uphold, and the squad he helped build and sustain across generations.
Rest in peace, Bill. Your dedication will never be forgotten, and your example will continue to inspire.
We’ve got it from here. 💙🚑
