I don't recall particularly liking him either... I was glad he could come out of the closet on Gilda's craziness. She was up on the cancer-victim survivor crusader pedestal for so long-- as though she was just this whimsical, madcap, fun person, but she was pretty nuts... she was a remarkable person, but very troubled. And I was glad he was able to connect with someone more normal and mature in his later years.
