I give the normal response of I am sorry let me know if I can help in anyway
This is the normal response, which makes no sense really. What can we do to help? Really just an empty gesture that is a norm.

Well that's disappointing. I am sorry
To the point, don't see a problem

Help him with some of his work load if he isn't feeling up to it.

Not as bad as “Cheers,” but I see your point.

Wait an hour and tell the third member that you burned your toast this morning. See if he gives the same response.

Yes. I was expecting (hoping) for something like "Welp, I guess he won't be making the company picnic this year" or "Sorry your buddy has assumed room temperature".
I am disappointed.

Maybe he was disappointed in you saying:
and the other guy not asking you to blow him or for life savings. I mean, you did say "anything to help."

Sounds ok. I’d follow with,”please accept: my condolences.”
