Thats a hard one....
I lost one of my closest friends in a drunk driving accident 5 years ago and I still have problems talking to her family.
They probably feel the same way you do....Start off by asking how they are doing ...I'd probably talkk to his sister she probably doesnt know how to react either and just tell them if they need anything they can call you...They probably need all the friends they can get
well I hope everything goes okay
and i'm sorry for your loss
