Jason Worilds is retiring so he can devote more time to his religion, the Jehova's Witnesses.

I don't necessarily disagree with the author, but another reasonable explanation is that successful people like their jobs, and in the absence of larger pursuits, like religion, they see no reason to move on. Retirement in and of itself isn't the "prize" for every single person.
