SAN DIEGO- The Right Rev. Robert M. Wolterstorff, who became the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego when it was carved out of the sprawling Los Angeles diocese in 1974, has died. He was 92.

Wolterstorff died peacefully in his sleep Tuesday, 10 days after suffering a heart attack, diocese spokesman Howard Smith said.

May he rest in peace, and rise in glory.
