Man who built 27,000 crosses to honor victims of tragedies retires
Rev. Arthur Thomas, right, of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, right, is embraced by Greg Zanis who built a cross for each victim of the tornado and placed them as a makeshift memorial in Beauregard, Ala., on March 6, 2019.Now, Zanis, 69, has decided it's time to retire from the self-appointed role he's held for more than two decades building the crosses and transporting them to each scene of violence and loss.
"I just feel like it was a calling only I could have filled," Zanis said, estimating he has built about 27,000 crosses since launching Zanis Crosses for Losses, which has been funded out of his own pocket and through donations.Sign Up
