BY SCOTT BURGINS The Cincinnati Enquirer Michael J. Ratto, an activist in the field of substance abuse, died of cancer Wednesday at Jewish Hospital. He was 40. "He was the kind of guy you're better off having known. My life has been enriched by him," said a friend, David Chiappone, a clinical psychologist who worked with Mr.

Ratto. Mr. Ratto was in the news earlier this year when Cincinnati Public Schools officials refused to allow his wife, elementary school counselor Perry Ratto, to accept donated sick days from friends who wanted to help her stay home and care for her husband. Friends of the family also sponsored fund-raisers to help pay Mr. Ratto's medical expenses.

A friend, Bob Dugan, said co-workers and parents of the kids he'd helped to kick drug habits visited him during his illness. "They made it a point to get back to Mike and let him know what kind of impact he'd had on their kids' lives and their own lives," Dugan said. Mr. Ratto was director of support services for 10 years at Hillcrest School, operated by the juvenile court; later, he was associate executive director at Talbert House, which serves people with substance abuse problems. Last year, six weeks into a new career as a consultant to businesses on substance abuse, he was diagnosed with cancer and unable to return to work.

Survivors include his wife; three daughters, Emily, Sara and Amy, all of Cincinnati; parents, Jack and Robbie Ratto of Park Ridge, brothers, Dick, of Cornelia, and Joe, of Des Plaines, and sister, Judy Robb of British Columbia.

Louis had been organist and choir director at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Monfort Heights for 18 years. The Rev. Mark Gratsch, St. Ignatius pastor, said Mr.

Louis was a stickler for getting the best effort from every musical group he directed. "He always looked for the best and was unhappy with the mediocre," Gratsch said. "The choir was very loyal to him." Marie Louis, his wife, said, "Numerous choir boys around the city will recall the authoritative tone of his pitch pipe, and future choir boys will one day sing some of the works he has written." Other Catholic churches where he played the organ and directed choirs earlier included Annunciation of Clifton, St. Agnes of Bond Hill, Nativity of Pleasant Ridge and St. Raphael of Springfield, Ohio.

During his 49-year musical career, he was an assistant director of the May Festival Chorus, accom panist of the Orpheus Club and director of music for Interment St. Joseph Cemetery.
