I wouldn't want to dissuade you from sending a sympathy card, just remember though,as earnest as your intent is, you really never know how the person on the receiving end will feel.

Some people accept the graciousness of people and the positive message of condolence,others don't.Some people for various reasons feel insulted or even patronized by such a offer.

Again you seem quite taken back by this,and no offence intended,but is this closure for you also?If it is,be careful in what you say.The real pain is with his family.
