Finally found the right words: we're so very, very sorry for his family's loss. And we are. His family is nice.
Go, me!

That's a good response. We had "creepy neighbor guy" pass away a month or two ago. This guy was REALLY odd and creepy (he had a permanent lecherous smile on his face). We felt bad for his female companion (wife? girlfriend? ???) and used the "we're really sorry to hear about [him]" line.
But in the safety of our own home, it was a different story.
