AURORA, Ill. - An Illinois man who made more than 27,000 crosses to commemorate victims of mass shootings across the country is retiring. Greg Zanis came to realize, after 23 years, his Crosses for Losses ministry was beginning to take a personal and financial toll on him, according to The Beacon-News. “I had a breaking point in El Paso,” he said, referring to the mass shooting outside of a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. He also placed crosses after the Las Vegas music festival shooting and the Orlando nightclub shooting. “After Orlando, it never stopped,” Zanis said of the mass shootings.
