After City Hall
After his two terms as mayor, Schiro returned to selling insurance at his Victor Schiro Insurance Company. After a campaign for the position of state insurance commissioner in 1975 when he polled 16 percent of the vote against the incumbent Democrat Sherman A. Bernard, Schiro continued selling insurance until he suffered a stroke in 1988.
In 2001, Schiro was posthumously inducted into the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame in Winnfield.

hooped by hand at the forge’s fire.”
