Bob McDunn

Dr. Robert "Bob" McDunn, 68, of Little Falls, Minn., died at home Friday, Oct. 9, 2009.

Robert C. McDunn was born Sept. 29, 1941, in Barnesville, Minn. to Edward Charles and Florence (Frink) McDunn. He married Mary Marjamaa on August 30, 1975, in Menahga, Minn. After graduating from high school, Bob went to college at UND and then transferred to Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, Ill. where he became a doctor of optometry. Robert opened his first practice in Hastings, Minn. in 1965. He and his family moved to Little Falls in 1976 where Robert was an optometrist for Midwest Vision Centers. In 1993, along with Will and Mary Kistler, they opened Vision "Cents" Optical where he practiced optometry until his retirement in 2008.
