I believe that he did, although probably not in the same way we experience them. Anger, certainly, he was able to feel, and I think this manifested itself most often when he thought somebody was going to thwart his task of opposing Sauron. Witness his tirade at Pippin after the stone-in-the-well incident. But also witness what came after: out of consideration for the hurt and fear he must have caused Pippin by yelling at him, he gives him a kindly word and relieves him of a fearful watch-duty. I don’t believe you can do that sort of thing without feeling compassion and kindliness towards the other person. Again with Pippin, witness his forgiveness after the palantír. “But come! I forgive you. Be comforted! Things have not turned out as evilly as they might.’ He lifted Pippin gently and carried him back to his bed.” Not the act of a cold, heartless spirit. He also shows concern for the Hobbits as a whole nation, and for Frodo and Bilbo in particular; he says in the beginning of Fellowship that he has been terribly worried for the risk Bilbo and Frodo were unknowingly running in keeping the Ring until he (Gandalf) could enlighten them as to its true nature.

But I believe it’s important to note that quite naturally, Gandalf placed his task of opposing Sauron far beyond his human emotions, and it was always first in his actions and words. And in the passage where he returns from the “dead,” there is a distance between him and Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas. He seems almost not to know them at first, and I’ve always been struck at that passage by his seeming coldness to them. It seems as though he is coming to Middle-earth for the first time, full only of his task to oppose Sauron, and has not had any time or “naturalization” process to accustom him to feeling for those close to him. Later, he becomes more like their friend of old, and yes, I believe he feels genuine friendship and affection for them.
