While his fellow band-mates all moved out of the city eventually, Kantner continued to live in San Francisco, and was a regular fixture at the Caffe Trieste in North Beach, according to his obituary in the Chronicle. San Francisco gay community leader and cannabis advocate Dennis Peron once told this writer how Kantner joined in with the street-fighting during the 1979 White Night riots that followed the assassination of the city's progressive mayor George Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk.
Kantner is survived by three children: sons Garet, a film producer, and Alexander, a musician; and daughter China, an actress and former MTV video-jockey.
