My late husband I met Art and Carole in Gettysburg.  My husband was disabled, and since we were living there, quite often they would make the drive to our house, just to cheer him up.  We absolutely loved them both.  Carole would always bring little signs and trinkets that said "Beleive".  I think thats why I loved that woman the most.  She was not afraid to tell you all about her love and belief of God.  Art was the same, however he was a bit more gruff.  My husband is gone now, and I am certain he was standing there, at the pearly gates, in his confederate uniform to welcome them both with lots of hugs and kisses.  

Carole & Art were our lifetime friends and the God parents to my youngest daughter.  They will be missed.  Prayers and thoughts to the family.

We met Carole and Art one year in Sharpsburg, MD and stayed friends ever since. I will miss her and that old Reb. May they Rest in Peace.

We met Art & Carole years ago at Sharpsburg, MD. My husband John was a Union Soldier and Art in his gray. Art always called John that "Damn Yank". They will be missed very much and will always be in my heart. Dang you Art, but I love you. May you Rest In Peace.

Artie was my brother, even though we never saw each other enough, my last phone call with him, he said that we were the only family left, and that he loved me as his sister always.

I am very saddened by losing my brother he loved portraying General Lee and the history of the Civil War.  This was such a tradgey  me and my family are so sorry that this happened, and Artie and Carole will be missed.

Requiescat in pace Art and Carol. May the Lord welcome you with open arms.

Art was quite a gentleman,and Carole was a fine woman.I admired thier love of our nation's history.They were a inspiration to us all.

             It is with great sadness that we learned that our Compatriot Art Twigg and his dear wife Carole Twigg perished in a tragic fire at  their home in Sykesville, Maryland on Thursday, November 7, 2019.

             Art was an SCV Life Member of the General Isaac R. Trimble Camp,  SCV.  He was a United States Marine and received the Purple Heart  during his service in Viet Nam.

           His love of country and love  of history were the great hallmarks of Art's life. In the 1990's he founded the Maryland Members of the Confederacy where he portrayed  General Robert E. Lee.  Other members portrayed  General Lee's famed Commanders; John B. Gordon, Isaac Trimble,  and William Barksdale. Art organized  many living histories  as General Lee. He showed his great love of children as they gathered around him  to hear  his many stories of the South's most loved General. In addition, as General Lee,  Art organized and led the Confederate troops  for many years at the annual Gettysburg Remembrance Day parade. 

          Art was a great artist, Although not classically  trained,  his paintings, models and carvings were fine works exhibiting great skill and talent. 

          Art Twigg was a kind and caring friend to all that knew him and he will be greatly missed.
