The bad news: since the Mr. Friendly is a contractor, your company has very little leverage here. (no doubt he knows this.) Any punishment would have to be imposed by his employer (the contracting company), not your human resources dept. If the guy's a valuable employee to his employer, you're likely to be met with deaf ears if you complain about his conduct.

The good news is the guy's a contractor. He'll be gone when your permanent employee returns from medical leave. In the meantime, do not be shy about setting limits and following the good advice others gave here about how to avoid the dude.
