Check for signs of EAB.

Same thing here. I lost track of how many we had to remove.

Either Ash Yellows or phytoplasma........ Hit the Cornell University Web site for more info..... I'm a tad rusty on that but the last I heard it is most prevalent in areas that where or are current agricultural site. (farm land or abandoned farm land). I think that the Leaf Hopper is the vector.

If the leaves of the Ash are distorted to the point that they look sub-compound then I belive it has a phytoplasma. Phytoplasma was once called MLO.

The last I heard there is no treatment for it although it can't hurt to fert, mulch, and water it!

Prune, fertilize, mulch, lightning protection, re-prune, treat for anthracnose, re-fert., re-prune and take down.
