Howie tends to be a bit underappreciated. No doubt about it. I know it took me seeing him as the Boys became more open and personal with us over the last fifteen years to realize it. But you know? Howie’s a pretty cool dude. He’s always great to fans and he’s got this cheesy and wry sense of humor that cracks me up. Besides, he’s known as Sweet D for a reason, am I right? BSB wouldn’t be BSB without him!
I can’t remember if I’ve submitted one or not! Josie will always go out of his way to take a picture or talk. He genuinely cares and treats fans as human beings. He has stayed humble and gracious. He is a great dad too!

I'm grateful to have many @howied moments- him pulling me on stage to dance, him doing me a favor that I won't ever, ever, ever, ever forget. The best was getting to have dinner with him & @ETownMelly. 2hrs of conversation and friendship was priceless.❤ #LoveAndLightForBSB

Where to start. So many moments. He makes me feel like I’m the only one in the room. Always greets me with a smile. But hands down…having Sushi with him and @sunnygirl20 in Vegas is tops. Even after being serenaded on stage. Nothing like 2hrs of pure, raw Howie time.

My favorite story about Howie is that I met him at the #bsbcruise2011 for the first time and he was nice to me when I was ask him for a picture but he did and it was the best time of my life….. I can’t wait to see him again soon #LoveAndLightForBSB

I have a few Howie moments like my serenade from the nkotBSB tour but my fave is actually the way he is with @ETownMelly it's just so sweet and warms my heart 💙 I love the way he treats her

Best moment with Howie is when I got to interview him for the This Is Us tour in Valdosta. We talked on the phone for about 30 minutes and realized I was a fan by some of my questions (b/c they weren't typical boring questions). Months later in Miami, he remembered me.

At a M and G one time, I asked him to pick me up. We took the picture, and he goes "do you wanna run away now?" And before I could answer, he was off down the hallway with me!

On the 2014 cruise we were walking down by our cabin to see if it was ready before the sail away party. Our cabin was on deck six, just down the hall from the boys… We were heading back upstairs when we heard Howie down the hall. We ran down there and he was with just his

Bodyguard, nobody else. No other fans. He stopped, gave us a big smile and said "do you girls want a picture?" he was so humble and sweet to us. We all took pictures and gave us hugs. I can see why people call him Sweet D. Definitely the most humble in the band.

You’re the best Howie D!
