Junius Peake, who poked and prodded the finance industry as one of the earliest, most persistent proponents of electronic trading, has died. He was 80.

He died on Jan. 27 in hospice care at Northern Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, Colorado, said his son, Andrew. He suffered a series of strokes over the past few years, following his retirement in 2006 as professor of finance at the Monfort College of Business, part of the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.
