Does anyone have suggestions? We had to remove an old cherry tree that was unhealthy but it had provided shade for the front of the house in our brutal summers. I need to replace it with something of similar or larger size.

I've used Red Mill Nursery for stuff like this in the past. Last time I was there, I think they had some trees that large.
Call around and see if anyone wants the cherry wood!
people who smoke and bbq are usually nutso over fruit tree wood--especially apple, but maybe cherry also. Strongly recommend that you call around. Someone might pay you good $$$$$ and remove the tree to boot!
Thanks, everyone. The tree was already removed, and it wasn't an actual fruit-bearing cherry tree. Just an ornamental. I already had the tree guys here for some very large trees out back (they used a crane and lifted them straight up over the house - it was incredible to watch) so this was a tiny add-on price.

If you don't mine saying, who did you use ? Were you pleased with price/results ?

Nope, don't mind at all. I would have made a separate post about it since I did extensive research and data gathering, but usually that's considered a faux pas.
I used J&D Tree Pros and their huge crane. Didn't even have to come in the driveway and risk damaging it - they did it from the street (it cost me a bit extra because of the extra time and effort required to attach the extension ***). I have some pics but suffice it to say they are professionals and removed about 7 trees, most very large (30-60 feet tall with very large girth) and trimmed another and it was quite reasonable.
I don't know why the forum didn't let me type "j i g" but filled in asterisks instead. Weird.
