Charles was born September 22, 1921 in Bryan, the son of John J. and Jennie Kosh Stasny. His education at Texas A&M College was interrupted by WWII when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving in the Pacific Theater as a radioman aboard the USS McCawley, USS President, USS Appalachian and the USS Harry Lee.

He was a longtime supporter of Boy Scouts and a former Cubmaster and Scoutmaster. He was also involved with Habitat for Humanity, where more recently he was primary sponsor of the Charles and Mary Anne Stasny Habitat for Humanity House. Charles was the subject of a children's book, The Firegator, which has become the mascot of the children's museum. (First edition published in 2002.)
