Here are a few pictures:

I agree with John, it looks like a box elder (Acer negundo). *Usually
considered to be a short-lived tree (although there are some
exceptional specimens that are quite old).

After enlightenment, the laundry.

I looked at pictures online and agree it's a boxelder. Now I'd like
to figure out what's wrong with the tree (dropping tons of leaves) and
how I can help it. Here are 8 pictures of the leaves. The yellow ones
that aren't attached just fell and the green ones were pulled off the
tree. I appreciate both of your help. Thanks, George.
