What would you do about a man who is sexually inappropriate to you at work?

I've been at my job for years. I love it but one man makes me uncomfortable. I'm in my early 20's & he is 50 & has 4 kids. I naturally am an extremely friendly person, it's how I am, I talk a lot.

I went away for 6 months and or back and he was still doing the same thing. Grabbing my bottom and breasts, trying to kiss me. I would say "don't" and walk away but this made no difference.
