Sal vitale says zeke is the boss of the gambinos, i can't imagine an hardcore mobster like zeke getting out of prison and retiring
I think he's just old and tired. He's done a ton of time, cried at his sentencing (Nothing wrong with that) If I remember right he has a really sick immediate family member, even 'hardcore' mobsters get sick of that life, probably wants to spend his last years with his family.
