Expert Response
Aphids do not typically kill trees. And they are pretty easy to remove with a strong water spray to the underside of the leaves.
There is a more likely cause for the thinning canopy. See the following websites for ideas on what to look for.

If this is a high value tree an onsite inspection by an arborist will give you a more thorough answer.
