Very true, however I noted that it was my customer due to a superior status and the formal nature of our relationship.

Yes via email.

This would be my approach as well.

My customer briefly mentioned he would be out of office due to a death in the family (wife's uncle).

How do you respond to something like this?

Should I respond with nothing, or "sorry for your loss" or "my condolences to you and your wife"?
