It doesn't bug me too much, but I always want to call him something similarly, but don't want to end up offending him. Any suggestions?

That`s interesting ! If he`s saying
Gue, pronounced "Way", that`s just a variation of "
Buey", pronounced "bWay", which means he`s being friendly because he`s saying "Bro".
But if he`s saying "
Guero", sounding like" Werro", then he`s using the Spanish slang for "Blondie", meaning non-Latino. Sometimes that`s a joke, sometimes an insult.
If you want to sound friendly, you could try
"Que tal, amigo?" . It`d be like saying, "How`re you doin`?"
