NEW ORLEANS — Victor F. Kirschman, whose family once ran the Louisiana-based furniture retail chain bearing its name, has died of complications from Parkinson's disease. He was 86.

His father, Morris, founded Kirschman's in 1914, and it eventually became a Top 100 chain with nine locations before it was sold to Rooms To Go in 2006.
