Rashmikant L. Vyas, 70, of Salem, died early Tuesday morning at his home following a brief illness. He was the devoted husband of Nalini R. (Dave) Vyas with whom he shared over 47 years of marriage. Born in Surendra Nagar, India, he was the son of the late Labhshankar and Nirmala (Trivedi) Vyas.

Rashmikant was a well known car salesman who worked throughout the North Shore, and retired just recently from Colonial Cadillac in Danvers. He enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and overseas, but most important to him was the time he spent with his family and later his three grandchildren. Besides his loving wife, he is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Smita and Brian Foley of Gorham, Maine and Dipti and Eric Cox of Seattle, Washington, his three loving grandchildren, Meghan Foley, and Brody and Steven Cox and is also survived by eight brothers and sisters and several nieces and nephews.
