This depends on your precise meaning. It is correct if you mean you treated him kindly. However, if you mean you sympathise with him - a feeling rather than an action - it should be 'I was very sympathetic to him'. You can also say I felt sympathy for him.

I agree with William. I would say "I was very sympathetic towards him" or "I felt sympathy for him".

in the every day language can it be said - I feel sorry for him-?
