I'd say not yes, but hell yes!

If you're not ready for full retirement, you might explore the possibility of part time work for them as a contractor after you officially retire. My perception is that this is a win/win situation - they get a worker they know and trust and for whom they don't pay benefits, and you keep your retirement benefits plus have the added income. I don't know the details of how this works, so you'd have to make sure of those.
